More about Me
My passion, expertise and hobby is Power BI.
But the more I learn, the more I realize how little I know. As HICO-Group consultant I am challenged every day to dig deeper into the Microsoft BI microsphere.
I am grateful for the various resources and blogs that have assisted me on this journey so far. Through this blog, I hope to be able to contribute and give back to the community a little bitty as well.
Outside of my hobby Power BI, I tend to spent it with my wife and three boys or alternatively just surfing with my paraglider from one cloud to the next.
