Wabbott has left the building!

My dear THWACKsters,

I knew this day would come eventually, but it doesn’t make leaving any easier.

I have been at SolarWinds almost exactly 5 years to the day, and half of that time I have spent devoted to you as your community manager. I want to thank you for being a part of my day every day for the past 2+ years and for letting me be a part of yours. When I joined THWACK I was a self-proclaimed nerd, but I’m leaving here a geek. I’ll never forget the dozens of missions we’ve been through, the SWUGs I’ve traveled to, the inside jokes that come up in every live chat (#DarkThemeForever), and the endless messages I’ve received from all of you. Thank you.

Before I sign off, I also need to publicly thank Danielle Higgins and Ben Garves. These two have been the best team members a wabbott could ever ask for. I could never thank Danielle enough for taking a chance on me and offering me my dream job. She trusted me with her former role and I hope I made her proud. To Ben, I want to express my gratitude for your humor, your willingness to always lend a helping hand, and for planning the most epic brainstorm meetings I’ve ever been a part of. Thank you both for everything, truly.

Fear not THWACKsters, I leave you in very capable hands.

That’s all folks!
