Joli Ballew

I am a prolific, technical, best-selling author of almost 60 books. I was a Microsoft MVP (10 years), Microsoft Certified Trainer (Alumni), technical editor, and technology trainer. I have earned quite a few Microsoft certifications including MCSE, MCTS (Windows 7 and Project 2007), and MCDST. I recently passed the first of two exams to become an MCSA in Windows 8. In addition to writing, I teach computer classes at Collin College in Plano, Texas, Microsoft certification classes at Brookhaven College in Farmers Branch, Texas, and I serve as the Microsoft IT Academy Coordinator there. I stay busy, but when I have down time I enjoy working out at the gym, taking care of my pets, and taking yoga classes. I am a Registered Yoga Teacher (200-Hr). I sometimes teach yoga at senior centers and assisted living facilities. I want to teach others how to find their own path to peace and happiness - the way I have found my own way this past year.
