As Fred Noe is fond of saying, "Come as a friend and leave as family." Today after 14 years, I leave Beam as a family. It has been an amazing ride that has afforded me incredible experiences both personally and professionally. I never imagined the journey would have gone this far and thus there are more people to thank than I can possibly name in a post. I would just like to say thank you to everyone I had the pleasure or working with and sharing a drink with! My next adventure will be revealed shortly, but until then see you down the road (the miles weren't nearly as hard as my first company badge would imply)!

Well, the halls will be a lot quieter at Beam and I am not sure who will light up the room when the Giants win. What a great run at Beam. Thanks for all you did there. Best of luck to you in your new venture.
