My friend Coby Schanz is a true Renaissance Man. I got to know him originally through his role as an IT consultant. He’s a well-known expert on important OLTP subject matters, most notably disaster recovery solutions. I used to be the operations manager for the payment switch that processed all card-based transactions for the 76 and Circle K brands. Coby implemented a disaster recovery solution for us. His genius is to take very thorny mission-critical concepts and implement them cleanly and simply.
I always like to measure ‘mean time to payback’ on our technology purchases. Coby’s products are always league-toppers in that regard. You can get them up and running with very little lead time. You configure one very well-documented table, and off you go.
Beyond the technology grind, Coby’s also a full-fledged lawyer, a mad keen windsurfer, and a very talented and accomplished musician. His music is really great. Check it out here. He writes the songs, plays all the parts, and has even produced his own video of his rockin’ song “Only You.”
Coby, how many hours are in your day? It must be longer than mine!
