Please join us in congratulating [Gary S.](https://answers.dynatrace.com/users/5198/view.html), the Dynatrace Employee Member of the Month for July! ![17334-gary.png](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/3X/7/b/7b090b4d6028e442c1067efc001c630a139731c0.png) Gary is a Consultant in the EMEA Expert Services team. In his daily work, he has the opportunity to work with many of Dynatrace customers, prospects, and partners to help them in their journey to make their software and services work perfectly. Gary’s primary focus is recently on Dynatrace. However, he holds certifications in all of Dynatrace products and has worked over the years with AppMon, DC RUM, and Synthetic Classic. If not in the forums, many of you probably got a chance to meet Gary in person on-site or at one of Dynatrace events. When asked what motivates him to stay active in the Community, Gary said: _“__I contribute to the Community because as a Consultant in the field, I do not know what situations I_ _might be presented with nor do I know what questions might be sent my way. Answering questions on the community lets me focus questions outside the ordinary from clients I know well, and allows me to explore different ways in which our userbase are letting Dynatrace solve their problems__.”_ Here’s what Gary likes best about the Community: “_What I like best about the community is seeing the satisfaction of when a user’s answer or RFE has become resolved. I observe some really creative RFE implementations quickly turned around by the product teams, and some fantastic solutions to users’ questions. By reading all of them, it gives me an extra platform to learn about Dynatrace_.” As a Dynatrace power user, Gary has also a little wish: „_I would like to see more people getting involved viewing posts, asking questions, submitting RFE‘s and posting answers. The knowledge is out there and members are responsive, and there is no need to be afraid to air your questions or comments_.” Outside of work, Gary likes to travel. “_I am lucky that working in the Dynatrace Services team I get to see a lot of places I might not normally have the opportunity to visit. Sometimes I think it might be a nice place to come back to and explore._“ The following picture was taken in Riyadh in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. ![17335--ksa.jpg](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/dynatrace/original/2X/e/e6d079d5710c75843d8b20eb345319b4fa6b819e.jpeg) Gary, it’s great to have you on board! Thank you for the continuous help you provide for other Dynatrace Community members. Congratulations! ---
