Well, I suppose it is now official. I have resigned my position at Centare Group and accepted another position.

My time at Centare was pretty good. It was there that I eventually started to grow into the leadership/senior roles I've always wanted. It was during my time there that my daughter was born, and a lot of other huge life events happened. It was at Centare that I wore the title "Microsoft Business Group Manager" for a while and did a great deal of work with Brian Tinkler trying to get Centare up and running and known as a solid Microsoft partner. (After many years of good rep as a solid IBM partner) Either because of, or inspite of, those early efforts Centare went from zero to several .NET people.

My new gig will be Principal Architect at SafeNet Consulting Services. They are also looking to grow their Microsoft practice and the opportunity seems like the right thing at the right time.
Not only will I get a fancy title on my business cards, but SafeNet's model will offer me a little more freedom where my own business endeavors are concerned. Hopefully, this opportunity combined with some big personal events (like building a house) will make this a fantastic year for me and my family.

One of the biggest take aways from my leadership reading this year is the notion of the Abundance Mentality. In keeping to this principle, I wish Centare all the success in the world, and look forward to chasing after my own.
