Got a new job

[8Up]

Long story short, no travel and big money was a win. Back in the wireless telephone industry working for Verizon as a design engineer. Been here almost two months now and Im still learning the processes but its a good team and my manager is just how I like them, 100 miles away. Lots of old Nextel people here and also my Sr Director was the manager for the company I worked for in Myrtle Beach. I moved all the way from Colorado to SC to work for him 24 years ago. Its nice to be back in the saddle again.

Actually, depending on where you are in NC you might be in my area. I cover the western side of the state, Ashville, Boone etc, but I know the people that do the east side too. Not saying I can do anything but I might be able to help chase down a problem.
