Yes, I’ve been to Jay’s club in NY, but that’s not the one that I am talking about.  And no, I did not have 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in the Pittsburgh Sports League this season (but next year…watch out).

But, I am really proud to have been selected to the 2009 group of Pittsburgh’s 40 Under 40!  Developed by Pittsburgh Magazine and Pittsburgh Urban Magnet Project, 40 Under 40 recognizes 40 talented individuals under the age of 40 who are making a positive impact on the region’s development.

Even though awards are not the reason that you do what you do, it feels great to know that someone appreciates your work.

The 40 winners will be guests of honor at a celebration on Friday, November 6 from 6:00 to 10:00 p.m. at the August Wilson Center.

Jay-Z and Barry Bonds are probably busy that night, but you can check out the list of all of this years winners here.

I appreciate all of your support, and I hope you can join us!
