Peter Serzo is an English major from Kent State, who started his technical career with EDS after finishing college. After working for 20 years as a consultant in organizations of all sizes, he is now a national speaker on SharePoint. His next challenge is to bring SharePoint to children and teach them. He has been working with SharePoint since 2003, in companies such as Microsoft, Ford, and ADP, along with many others throughout the United States.

Currently, Peter is working as a Senior SharePoint Architect for High Monkey Consulting. The name "High Monkey" refers to an old Jamaican proverb that means the higher up you go, the more responsible you must be. High Monkey takes pride in its accountability and excellence toward work, with regard to the client's needs.

I dedicate this book to my wife Stacy, for her patience, love, and support as I took much of our time to write. She is my rock. I also thank my children—Philip, Zachary, and Stefan—for their support and belief in me. I hope this book inspires them to exceed in their lives (Think Avisha!). Finally, I want to thank my Mom, for giving me a love for the written word, and my Dad, for giving me a love and appreciation for all things technical. A perfect balance. All of you are my source of inspiration and will always have my love.
