Are you a UserGroup Leader?

Yes! Atlanta Salesforce Developer User Group

Favorite Salesforce Feature

REST API. Because I can then use other devices to interface with Salesforce.

Salesforce’s Biggest Opportunity for Improvement

I know its not really a feature per say, but the thing that bugs me the most is that when you go to the customize menu in the setup bar it is not alphabetized and it takes me extra time to find what the heck I am looking for. Why can’t Activities be after Accounts?

Earn some certifications
