About sn-nerd.com
The SN Nerd is an independent ServiceNow blog authored and managed by Paul Morris, a ServiceNow Technical Consultant from Australia. This site is not affiliated with ServiceNow.
When talking about ServiceNow at conferences, local meetups or live streams, I’ve recently noticed that I come across as a bit of a nerd. I’ve been meaning to start my own website and blog to manage my own personal portfolio, so I decided to start sn-nerd.com as a personification/characterisation of my interest and passion for ServiceNow. I am a skinny guy who isn’t good at sports, so I don’t have any non-participation sports trophies, but I do have MVP trophies. I guess that makes me a ServiceNow Nerd.
