The number one reason why I haven’t updated my blog since November 2007 is because of a rather large career development. When the owners of my previous employer, a family-owned business where I am directly related to the owners decided to sell their business, I decided to move on, lest a Tommy Boy situation occur. Essentially, I didn’t want them to be able to use me for my last name which has become synonymous with things in the industry that I used to work in.
