My parting message when I left VCE on May 23rd of this year was based on Longfellow’s poem “The Arrow and the Song.” The jist being that “I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to the earth I knew not where.” With my announcement today I complete the poem, “Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroken.”

– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of a song?
Long, long afterward, in an oak,
I found the arrow, still unbroken;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

Today I’m pleased to announce that I am now a Sr. Tech Marketing Manager for EMC, a large oak in the computer industry.
In my new position I will be part of the Federation (http://www.emcfederation.com/) developing technical material for our internal teams, partners, and clients. Much of this will leverage my knowledge of EUC technologies. I will also get the opportunity to expand my cloud knowledge along with other areas of the Federation.
I’ll be working for @BGracely and @theSANzone. Along with some with great teammates including @VMTyler who just joined the team a few weeks ago.
This is an extraordinary opportunity to grow not only my knowledge but the communities shared knowledge as well. I think that is one of the most exciting things about my new position. I hope with this position I will be able to continue to pay it forward. The community has given me so much and I hope to be able to reciprocate.
I’m looking forward to the exciting times ahead and I want to thank everyone who has offered encouragement while I looked for this new oppertunity.
Tony
