Wow – Ten years ago today, after coming home from Autodesk University 2004, I joined the blogosphere.\u00a0 Here is my first post:<\/p>\n

\"First<\/a><\/p>\n

That first post was not much to look at, but now that I am approaching 1000 posts, it has been a great time.\u00a0 I appreciate all of you that have read my blog, AUGI World articles (about 40 or so) and AUGI Hot News (from 2005 to 2013).\u00a0 I hope that you were enriched.<\/p>\n

Over the years I have had 2.7 million page views.\u00a0 Memorable posts, to me at least, were the third post I ever made announcing my excitement about being elected to the AUGI Board of Directors.\u00a0 Others that have been about New software, leadership topics, characteristics of a CAD Manager, the launch of BIMManager.com<\/a> and many more.<\/p>\n

My first tech post was on VISRETAIN<\/a> and my first Revit post was on where to find the Shortcuts<\/a> file.<\/p>\n

On May 9 2008 I posted my first Tweet. 1500 or more tweets later I am still posting away (10% of what Shaan Hurley has – lol)<\/p>\n

\"First<\/a><\/p>\n

A lot has happened in the past 10 years. I have served on the AUGI Board for 6 years, been president of AUGI for 2.5 years, served as the AUGI Executive Director.\u00a0 I have also transitioned into four new jobs, spoken at AU 2004 thru 2014 (actually started with AU in 1996).<\/p>\n

Through all of this, I maintain that CAD and now BIM Managers are misunderstood and under-appreciated.\u00a0 They maintain a professional demeanor, even when not thought of as professionals.\u00a0 They expand the embrace of design tools even when others are happy with the status quo.\u00a0 They have superior technology skills combined with management prowess and increasing leadership responsibilities.\u00a0 They are a much needed technical resource for any firm.<\/p>\n

I hope you have enjoyed the journey as much as I have.<\/p>\n
