Bob knows how to "get the point across" when it comes to understanding how SharePoint works; and, more importantly, how to implement SharePoint for your company SO YOU WON'T FAIL!

He can easily explain the most complex aspects of SharePoint, showing you how to put it all together - and not just in a class/learning situation. He adapts his answers and examples to fit each students individual situations. Between breaks, after class, over dinner, or wherever, the "Bob SharePoint Machine" never hits the "off" position ... he lives SharePoint and thus is always talking about (unless you bring up the subject of "scooters," but that's a whole other thing!) ... Should you take Bob's class >>>> MOST DEFINITELY! And, become an active member of this Mastering SharePoint forum/web site ... why? Because Bob and his minions are definitely a group you want to be a part of for sharing and gaining SharePoint knowledge and information.
