Good old beercan chicken has always been the best way for me to get moist, juicy chicken on the grill/smoker. The liquid steams up into the bird as it cooks, its always a big hit. We've done a trashcan turkey that way too, with a big Foster's oil ...

What is your greatest strength?
I am an information junkie who relishes a challenge and digging into new things. Recently, my first book, the "SharePoint 2007 Disaster Recovery Guide" was published by Charles River Media and is now for sale on Amazon.com. I am a Solutions Architect for Apparatus, Inc. in Indianapolis, IN, with over four years of experience administering and supporting SharePoint technologies and has spent over nine years working in the technology consulting industry. I'm also a Microsoft Certified Technology Specialist in the installation and configuration of Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) v3, Microsoft Office SharePoint Server (MOSS) 2007, and Microsoft System Center Operations Manager (SCOM) 2007. I am the operator of SearchForSharePoint.com, a custom search engine for all things SharePoint.

My wife, Gretchen, and I have been together for over six years and were married in April of 2005. Our daughter, Piper, was born in July of 2007.

Why join Smaller Indiana? What are you hoping to experience here ?
I heard about it from a friend and was intrigued. I've been pleased with the social networking experience of LinkedIn and, to a lesser extent, Facebook and thought that the idea of an Indiana-specific network was a good one. I'm hoping to reconnect with some people I know, meet some new people, and in general network professionally.

Hey, John! I just happened upon Smaller Indiana yesterday doing a Google search for something else and decided it was something I wanted to be a member of. My first group to join this morning was IT Professionals, and look who I found! Nice to connect with you again, outside of being your book editor for SharePoint 2007 Disaster Recovery Guide!

Hi John!

We don't know each other, but you were one of the featured members when I logged onto the site today and your photo caught my eye. I just have to tell you that you have the most striking profile photo I've ever seen....bar none. It is truly beautiful and speaks volumes about who you are and what you believe in!

Did have some family in Kokomo, but probably not the one you are talking about. My family is more specifically from Logansport. But could be wrong... Let me know more about you though.

Now I see your rss feeds. I guess I didn't scroll down enough. Your blog and your links are awesome resources for those of us trying to figure out if sharepoint can make us work more efficiently together. Wish I could give you a rating as a smaller indiana MVP!!!!!!!!!!!!

What's Up John! I was thinking of you this weekend. Jenny and I took a vacation in Scottsdale, Arizona and stayed at the FireSky Resort for 5 days! If you remember, this is where we were two years in a row for the HOBY National Conference. I hope you and the family are doing well!

Hi John, not sure if you officially know me, but I'm good friends with Daniel Walter and ran with your sister in high school. Good to see you on SI.

Hi John, I had coffee with one of your colleagues last week. It sounds like you are doing some great work over there.

Help

A few things to consider before joining Smaller Indiana:
1. Please use your real name (first and last) when you sign up, or we cannot open your account

2. Please do not use logos or commercial images for your profile photo

3. Events should be posted in the events calendar

4. You can post pretty much anything you want on your own personal page (self promotion, etc), and you can change the style of your personal profile page to reflect your corporate identification if you so choose.

5. Please keep all comments civil and polite. It's OK to feel strongly about a subject, and it's OK to be critical of ideas, but please refrain from personal attacks of any kind.

If you witness or experience any issues, please contact admin@smallerindiana.com and we will look into the matter.

6. Smaller Indiana is supported by its members, and by corporate sponsors. If you're interested in learning more about sponsorship, please call Pat Coyle at 317 332 7878.
