Hey y’all!  My name is Artie, I talk a lot and build stuff.  I have a never-ending inner dialog that becomes an outer dialog, and I’m one of the few folks on the planet that really likes WindowsJ. I talk with NetApp teams and clients about why NetApp and ONTAP is a strategic investment in their business.  I help educate and bridge gaps between storage, virtual, and database teams that enable the applications our clients rely on to power their business, and how ONTAP can help them #freetheirdata in the most affordable, secure, and easiest way possible.  I use LabOnDemand and our NA SA physical labs to provide metrics and prove how our solutions can address various pain-points our clients may be struggling with.  When I’m not doing that, I wrangle kids and skateboard, usually simultaneously.  I build skateboard ramps and really fast RC cars, and I like to (spray) paint stuff.
