Since earning my first certification in December of 2000, I have used my time to attain numerous certifications including the three premier Microsoft certifications.  This is of special note when looking at the demographics of all Microsoft certification holders in the industry.  16.5% are MCSEs (2000 or higher), 8% are MCDBAs, and 3% are MCSDs.  When taking these statistics together, I am among the top 0.04% holders in Microsoft’s list of certified professionals to hold all three certifications.
