Greetings From a FLORIDA MAN!

Hello fellow storage nerds! I wanted to stop by and say hi to everybody who is in the mix on Pure's new Community site. I am pretty stoked at its potential for me to occasionally contribute some stuff, but more importantly, round out my knowledge of how things are going for our customers and where there are opportunities to improve our storage arrays.

For those of you outside the US who don't know the "Florida Man" reference, here's a great spot to give you an idea of what that means 😂 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Florida_Man. Basically, "Florida Man" is the US-version of "Australian Man" ... no offense to Australia 🇦🇺😀.

For those who are curious - I am a former SE (going all the way back to working a Sun Microsystems) who made the jump to marketing when I came to Pure and am working now as a Technical Evangelist...which is being being a hype man for our platform and using my SE brain to provide technical guidance to the different campaigns we run. Honestly, it has put a second wind in my career that was burning out from being in sales for so long. And, Pure's stuff makes it VERY easy to get excited and hype it up 💪.
