DBA needed in the bay area

As some of you know, I assist in the DBA hiring process for a small number of organizations. I am currently helping GetActive Software, a small company in Berkeley. I taught a seminar there a few months ago and was impressed by their attitude and the technical caliber of their staff. They remind me of Amazon.com in the early days.

They build and host web-based applications, primarily for non-profits. There is a page on what they do at http://www.getactive.com/about_us

In addition to sending mail to the address at the bottom, you may also just email me with your resume and/or questions.

This will be a one-time posting.
