I spent most of my career (25+ years) as a systems administrator with responsibilities for storage architecture. But after many years of supporting production environments and becoming burned out by the 7x24 on-call schedule, I made the move into presales and then technical marketing. Life is good. I am able to leverage my customer and sales experience, by helping my team understand the customer’s perspective and challenges. If you have questions, ask them here on or on EMC NetWorker Online Commnity. I'd love to chat! My life away from work consists of playing in the great outdoors - I am an adrenaline junky, triathlete, mountaineer and techno-girl.

In June of 2012 a 26 year old climber went out on a solo climb and took a tragic fall because he chose to carry but not use gear to protect him from falling.

What is your favorite time of year? For me, I am a fan of fall. This weekend I took full advantage of fall in beautiful Colorado. My weekend included a 13.1 mile running race that incorporated rocks, roots, huge hills and a very narrow trail with 1,000 runners. This meant that we could only run ...

Why should you honor boundaries? Last year I was skiing with a group that had lost a 13 year old friend during a ski accident. The 13 year old was skiing out of bounds with an adult when they set off an avalanche. Yes, the adult encouraged the 13 year old to take the risk ... Continue Reading » - The Strong Survive

Have you ever been in a situation where you look back and say, “Wow that was a really stupid move”? Maybe that move was death defying or just simply risky. This past winter I went out with a group to climb a peak. Yes I know, winter in Colorado is not the safest time to ... Continue Reading » - Does Your Over-Confidence Put You or Others at Risk?

Last weekend I was able to get outside and enjoy the beautiful snow capped mountains around where I live. The intent was an exhilarating back-country ski that would be emotionally relaxing. However, the group I was with decided to discuss a rather heavy topic. The question we were discussing was: How you would react if ... Continue Reading » - Does Age Matter?

I was recently reading an article pertaining to age and athletic ability. The not so shocking news is that athletes of any level will see a decrease in performance with age. So yes, age does matter. How does this apply to backup? As I was reading this article it occurred to me that people getting ... Continue Reading » - Consolidation Makes It Easy

Thoughts from Stephen Manley
The Right Architecture Is Priceless, Part I
