Shockingly, it’s been over two years since I retired from the FBI. Whether it’s during one of my presentations, book signings, or meetings, I always get asked, “Do you miss the FBI?”

I really enjoyed reading Scott’s comments on his retirement. I am a retire CIO as well and I often find myself telling others the same things as Scott. But being a “Technology Tribal Elder” these days doesn’t feel the same as when I was a young boy and looked up to adults. Today’s professionals seem to discount (or just ignore) the lifetime of knowledge and experiences of the “Boomer” generation. Big mistake in my opinion! But a huge opportunity for those of you willing to learn from others who have been there and done that!
Great comments and input from both of you. We are blessed to have both of you involved in IT Pack. It's these types of conversations that I think will help IT practitioners across the country, whether they are looking to grow their careers, or just get better at their job. As I look at the last 19 years of building events, I am extremely proud of the number of people we have been able to connect, so they can collaborate. I feel IT Pack will take us to places we will never be able to touch with events. Five years from now we are all going to look back and be proud of the fact that we were part of launching something that has become very valuable to the IT community.
