Robert has been an ASP.NET and .NET guru in Minnesota for a long time.  He has spoke at conferences all over the country and has participated in community stuff in the Twin Cities whenever we can drag him up here. ;-)  I happy to say that the folks out in Redmond have finally recognized the great work that Robert has been doing and have now made him an ASP.NET MVP!  Way to go Robert.  You can check out Robert's blog here.
