Status

After working for over 13 years at a local franchisor I resigned in March, 2020.  It's sad because I didn't leave over money or a new job.  The I.T. systems had been under resourced for decades and I just couldn't stand to be there anymore. 

My plan was to climb for a month and then get a different job but the virus extended that to 6 months.  In that time I learned new technologies and traveled and climbed throughout the Western US.

Now I work as a Senior DBA in a much larger and healthier environment.  In addition to higher pay I also have a team of coworkers who I can turn to for help and the ideas that I bring to the organization are embraced instead of blocked.
