Finally, congrats to Intertech Partner, Instructor, and Best-Selling author Andrew Troelsen. Andrew was named a Microsoft Most Valuable Professional (MVP) for the fifth year. As stated by Microsoft, “The MVP Award is given to exceptional technical community leaders who foster the free and objective exchange of knowledge by actively sharing their real-world expertise with technology users.” In the case of Andrew, we couldn’t agree more!
