Goodbye Gannett

Goodbye Gannett

Today is my last day with Gannett and the GIADC. I have worked here for 7 years today. I am going to miss working with all of my friends in digital and campaign team, but I will definitely stay connected. I'll miss the super casual atmosphere and playing ping pong everyday. This was my first real design job and I learned how to edit photos, animate in Flash and Edge, design logos and ad campaigns. I have been looking for a new job for awhile and finally found a design position at EMC Insurance. I'll be joining a much smaller team and will get to do all sorts of design projects and do a lot more animation and video editing. My family has been super busy lately with baby Mia, selling our house, moving in to our new house and now me starting a new job. I'll have next week off to watch the kids and maybe organize the garage so we can park our cars in there. I start at EMC on the 17th and I am very excited! I'll be joining my friend Justin Bartz at EMC so I won't be too lonely, but I'm only 3 blocks away from my Gannett friends so hit me up for lunch anytime.
