Manuel Quintana is a Training Content Manager at Pragmatic Works. Previously, he was a senior manager working in the hotel industry. He joined the Pragmatic Works team in 2014 with no knowledge in the Business Intelligence space, but now speaks at SQL Saturdays and SQL Server User Groups locally and virtually. He also teaches various BI technologies to many different Fortune 500 companies on behalf of Pragmatic Works. Since 2014, he has called Jacksonville home and before that Orlando, but he was born on the island of Puerto Rico and loves to go back and visit his family. When he isn't working on creating new content for Pragmatic Works, you can probably find him playing board games or watching competitive soccer matches.
