I have been away from this place for too long. Many things have happened over the last year that have impacted my life in a significant way. First, and most importantly, the company that I moved from Rhode Island to North Carolina to work for, no longer exists. This is very sad for me. I really enjoyed working for Emergent and with all the incredibly smart individuals associated with that organization.
In October of last year, Emergent’s assets were sold at auction. fortunately, David Brame came to the rescue and with the help of Gamebase in Korea was able to purchase Gamebryo. I have 3 great years with that product so I am glad David was able to keep it moving. And from everything I have heard over the last few months, Gamebase USA is doing well. I wish all involved the greatest success. And who knows, maybe I will work with them again in the future.
So what have I been doing since I left Emergent in September? Well, I have been doing a number of things. I am in beta testing of the first version of my parental control application called Kidstime. It will be made publicly available shortly. I will have a future post that will talk all about it.
I worked with a great company in Cary called RMSource. Straight Microsoft technology stack; right up my alley. Unfortunately, the commute killed me and I was spending more money on after school care late fees than I really wanted to (which is 0, btw)!
I am now with North Carolina Farm Bureau insurance in Raleigh. A slightly closer commute (only about 35 to 40 mins.) and back to Insurance which is an industry I am familiar with.
We bought a new home in Hillsborough last July, which we love! The kids are enjoying their summer and Holly is still at Stewart PT.
We are well. I will try to post at least once a month now that I am posed with new challenges.
till next time…
