Thanks for having me on your podcast.

I see Gary's name everywhere lately, organizing meetups and conferences. I know this is hard work and I appreciate it, so much value for our community.

Gary is fast becoming a Legend of the MoT community. He has dedicated time and energy to creating such fantastic meetups for the testing community and is an all-round great guy. 

Thanks for sharing about TestBash tickets for job hunters.
