Greetings everyone. SharePoint MCM Rotation 4 wrapped up a little over two weeks ago, and the final results are in.

R4 was my first rotation as PM, and it was an enormously rewarding experience to work with our phenomenal instructor team and a talented, driven, and fun group of candidates. Our candidates represented 3 continents, 5 countries, and 8 companies and demonstrated impressive dedication, enthusiasm, and esprit-de-corps for 20 consecutive (and very long) days in November. We've also been busy with retakes for candidates from previous rotations and have a few folks who've completed their certification requirements in the past few months.

I'm pleased and honored to introduce the latest Microsoft Certified Masters for SharePoint 2007!

• Chris Beckett (R2): Chris is an Information Worker Solutions Architect with SharePoint Bits based in Seattle, WA.
• Gurpreet Singh (R2): Gurpreet is a Senior Consultant with Microsoft Global Services based out of Hyderabad, India.
• Jerry Orman (R4): Jerry is a Senior Premier Field Engineer with Microsoft based out of Southern California.
• Morten Schioldan (R4): Morten is a Senior Consultant with Microsoft Consulting Services and is based in Denmark.
• Ram Yadav (R4): Ram Yadav is a Senior Consultant with Microsoft Consulting Services based in Las Colinas, TX.
• Russ Houberg (R2): Russ is a Senior Technical Architect with KnowledgeLake based in St. Louis, MO.
• Sven Seeger (R4): Sven Seeger is a Senior Consultant with Logica in Germany.

Please join me in congratulating the new Masters and welcoming them to the MCM Community!

We have quite a few folks scheduled for retakes in the next month or two, so I look forward to more announcements in the new year. Well done all!
