Friends and Colleagues,

As many of you are already aware, my family and I moved to Florida.  While we are excited about this move and the new challenges that come with it, I also find myself at a loss of a great job and the awesome people with whom I have worked over the past 7 years.

Michael Player, you are the example that I strive to achieve each day.  You supported me professionally and personally, providing guidance, and advice.  I couldn’t have asked for a better mentor.  Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to work in this professional organization that it is.
