I've been employed at Healthvision for the last 6.5 years. I joined the company when it was just 6 months old and I'm now one of only three people left in the development group from the beginning. I've seen us go through some bad times, some really good times (currently in that now), and made a whole lot of friends. To be honest, it was very hard to talk with my boss about it since he's my friend more than my boss and he's been a great guy to work for. The company has been an awesome place to work and they've been great to me and my family. But sometimes you just feel the Lord leading you somewhere else.
So, effective 4/21 I'll be unemployed...until 4/25 when I start the life of a contractor and my first contract is with Jack Henry & Associates in Lenexa, KS (Kansas City). Its a contract-to-hire situation, via JMA, so hopefully it will be a good fit and I'll have full-time employment again pretty soon. At first I'll be traveling back and forth every week but when school/baseball/softball are over in May the whole family will come and stay for a while. We lived in Kansas City before Dallas so it will be familiar territory for us.
I plan on attending the KC .NET User's group so if by chance anyone reading this attends that meeting let me know and say hi.
