After being unemployed since January 20th, my wife has decided to go back to school to obtain her Masters in Counseling, and it looks like she will be attending the Denver Theological Seminary this fall. Right around the same time that she knew she would be going back to school, I was contacted by a friend of mine who heard the news about my wife and ended up offering me a position to work in his company as the Sales Director for the west coast. I accepted the position and will be selling the company’s product (which is a system that sets-up a Medicare prescription program at hospitals) in four states which include Colorado, California, Oregon and Washington, and my home office will be in Denver.
I have submitted my resignation to the Red Cross, and my last day with the organization will be Friday, June 26th. After being with the Red Cross since 2005, I am leaving with many mixed emotions as I have been blessed with great colleagues, managers, mentors and projects. The Red Cross has a great mission, and I am honored that I was able to work in this organization for the past four years. I’ll be starting my new job on the 29th and in New Jersey for training until Ashley and I move at the end of August.
Both my wife and I are really excited yet somewhat nervous about the next steps in our lives. We love D.C., our church and our east coast community that surrounds and supports us. Leaving this place will be very difficult as we fell in love in this city and continue to be surrounded by incredible friends and family, but we also know a new and exciting adventure is in front of us.
