I have noted in a couple of previous blog entries that I may be relocating up to the Bellevue/Redmond area so I can work closer to the mothership. Well, this post is my first official notice that, yes, I am going to be relocating.

This is something I have wanted to do for many years. I have discussed this with several managers over time and I have just been waiting for the right opportunity. I am fortunate that I am going to be able to make a “lateral” move. One of my fellow presenters who worked and lives in the northwest moved to a new role and I jumped on the chance to be able to backfill his position. Long term this is a great career move for me while for the short term I am able to continue doing what I like to do – live presentations.

For those of you that know me from SoCal, I am going to miss you and the area. Nothing can beat the SoCal weather and I have met some great people in the last three years I have spent here. I am not leaving immediately as I have to get through my wedding in April first. But things will be moving quite rapidly for me over the next couple of months. I expect to be fully relocated to the north by Jun 1st if things go smoothly.

My blog will move with me so you can expect to see it stay in place though I do intend to make some changes. I want to be more focused on some products that I like to work with: Media Center, Small Business Server, Exchange, ISA, Vista, Windows. I know that seems pretty broad, but it much more focused than my original intent of just blogging about everything I have to work with. I am even considering splitting the blog up around those products for organizational purposes (and my own sanity!)

As for my relationships with User Groups, the Community, and other local organizations, rest assured that I will pass that torch on to whoever is brought on board and make sure they continue to be involved.

Now…..go register for the local events we have this week!
