Email is Alive

Much Thanks to the Email Community

After years of working in internet marketing this past year has been amazing for me. I have to say I've been thoroughly impressed with how the email marketing community has embraced me and allowed me to participate within the industry. I've found my passion and skill set to meld well with email and have consistently been encouraged to be more a part of the great work currently going on. Between Twitter, LinkedIn, The Email-Geeks, The Email Zoo, phone calls and quite a few hand shakes, I finally feel at home. Many peers in each space have validated and welcomed me with open arms, getting to know all of you has been a privilege and I hope to continue the friendships for years to come.

A special shout-out needs to be said for a few of you: John Caldwell, Andrew Kordek, Shannon Holato, Scott Cohen, Loren McDonald, Chris Wheeler and Jeff Ginsberg @ The Email Guide. All of you have been of great value to me and I've thoroughly enjoyed every conversation, blog post and Tweetup. I'm humbled to speak with all of you and gain insights on the vast amount of knowledge that you all have, I hope that I can contribute in some small part for the betterment of the email community.

A big thanks to everyone - let's keep up the excellent work.
