About Me

My name is Bryan Oliver and I am one of the SQL Mentors at SolidQ in Australia asubsidiary of the Solid Quality Mentors Inc.

In my role at SolidQ I speak a lot at SQL User groups and other conferences so I will be using this blog site to keep you up to date on my forth coming speaking engagements and travels.

I am back in Australia but for the last 5 years I worked for Quest Software spending about 44 weeks a year on the road working with customers, user groups and different teams from within Quest software including R&D, Support and Sales.

One of the main reasons for this blog site is so I can expand on my presentations that I give at user groups to give more input and feedback to questionsfrom these presentations.
