After 19 years in this business (and a 30+ year career), I've made the executive decision to retire. It took me a bit of time to let go, as I started the business from scratch in 2006.

To all the people who got me to where I am and to all the clients and candidates who trusted me to navigate their search- A MILLION THANKS!

Deep thoughts with me today: I am reminded that Jesus was willingly crucified to save our souls yet, he did nothing wrong.

When I went through chemo, my first thought was: If Jesus suffered and died on the cross, through no fault of his own, surly I could get through chemo with good drs. and drugs.

Our world has many heavy burdens, but Easter is a time to trust that there is a greater good that will prevail. In these times there are many efforts to divide, social media has conditioned us to have a short attention span and focus on the tangible vs intangible.

I would encourage you, independent of your religious or political preferences to pause, silence your phones and live out the day enjoying the gift of being saved and "alive". Focus inwardly to uncover what brings you joy, peace and purpose and do only those things.
