Wow Pharm, Thanks for this info...I think a few of us might have been a bit unsettled by the amateurish vids and the o so casual geek
approach that seemed to come through a bit on this stock; but with Stoney on board, I'll sleep well and know that any questions I might have on SPIHF's future business plans have already been asked..and answered. This guy will bring home the bacon - for sure!

Frankly, I had trouble understanding just exactly what this fellow has done over the years. I'd be more impressed with concrete statements of accomplishments in terms I could understand. I'd be VERY impressed if I found out that a big part of his compensation is dependent on sales performance linked to concrete targets. That is, that he is betting heavily on the success of SPIHF's product and his ability to sell it. Initially I thought his specialized health care background might be a limiting factor, expertise in only one slice of the pie, so to speak. Then I read Van's statement that health care was the second biggest buyer of cloud services, after the government. Suddenly experience focused on health care is a strength, not a problem. My ultimate response to the hire is a cautious optimism.

Very impressive resume, thanks for sharing Pharm! Sounds like Sphere has a good shot for some large contracts in government and healthcare. Should be a very interesting year!
