Josh Michaels is a Owner at Rain City Learning. Colleagues describe him as "In the time I have known Josh, I have found him to be an excellent leader. He engages in active listening when the team is having a discussion and fosters an environment where different opinions can be voiced. He delegates out tasks and lets his team complete them on their own. He allows the team members to work in a way that meets their styles and needs. He ensures the team gets proper recognition for their work. Finally, he's passionate about the community and that shows through his dedication to running the BSides Seattle conference year over year.", "Yep, I remember when F5 picked up this whipper-snapper back in '09. He sat right by me. I answered a modest question or three, but mainly I just rubbed my jaw in awe, while Josh busied himself about the country interviewing for secret security agencies — then ultimately, agreed things were rolling mighty fine delivering applications along the pan-handle of Interbay (The Seattle neighborhood where F5 HQ is located). This fellow's a winner, a well-spoken and mighty secure F5 Toastmaster.", and "I highly recommend Josh Micheals to anyone in need of a good Administrator. His work ethic is stellar, and his skills are above and beyond others in his field. His continuing desire to improve his skillset has kept him ahead of the curve. Josh was pleasant to work with and always willing to help others who had questions or required advice or direction. Josh excels in the area of computer security as well, as he has demonstrated by securing our domain and adding proactive measures to detect intrusion attempts."
