On To The Next Chapter... 8:10 PM

Hey folks:

What can I say? What a magnificent run it’s been these past 10 years. So many phenomenal memories. So much hilarity. I remember first coming to Modem, marveling at the “pioneering” attitude it embraced and how bright everyone was around me. I learned so much, so fast. I’m so grateful because this place continues to educate and refine me, even today.

Of course, even though most of you haven’t seen them, I’ll always cherish the many company videos — from spoofs around internal issues to poking fun at certain competitors (ahem, ahem ;>)), and even “Wingman In The Muddle” shown the other day. They’re the direct result of my passion around video and all its creative possibilities. It’s that very same passion, in fact, that’s driving me to move on.

For those who don’t know, I’m going off on my own. Staying in the realm of interactive, but concentrating on the experiential possibilities of video, broadcast, even video-based design. I can’t wait to get started and I’m especially thrilled Modem will be one of my first clients as I help them blow-out their video capabilities and continue as creative lead on XXX. It’s a terrific arrangement and I’m grateful for the opp. So yes, you haven’t gotten rid of me completely as I’ll still be in 1-2 days a week.

Anyway, so much more I could say, but the bottom line is...Though I was voted Heart Of The Company last year, I never thought of it that way. I’ve always thought of Modem as the heart of me. For a decade it’s been my inspiration, energy, drive, and true love. I will never forget the greatness of Modem nor you, the people that continue to make it that way. Thank you for everything, folks, I will miss you.

If you’d like to keep in touch, I’d love to hear from you. I’m at:

Well, in the immortal words of one prominent employee now past, “onward and upward.”

Change is good. 6:52 PM

And change comes in many different forms whether it is working on a new client, different team members, a new office or a new career. We can ignore or fight it and struggle against its influence or embrace it and become its agent.

I thank each of you for changing me for the better.

Please stay in touch. I plan to.

Ramble On 6:48 PM

Dear Friends,

Without having a clue where to begin let me just say what an absolute blast its been working with all of you for the past 6 years. I will miss everyone. I will cherish the memories. I will be barking still but no one will jump out of their seat cause there is no one around. I will be back for a “feeding” here and there.

Since nothing I say can really explain the sadness of leaving here and the excitement of what is to come I will leave you with some lyrics to a song that, if you have sat near me when working you have heard no less than 3,285 times.


Leaves are falling all around,
It’s time I was on my way.
Thanks to you, I’m much obliged
For such a pleasant stay.

But now it’s time for me to go,
The autumn moon lights my way.
For now I smell the rain,
And with it pain,
And it’s headed my way.
Ah, sometimes I grow so tired,
But I know I’ve got one thing I got to do,

Ramble on,
And now’s the time, the time is now
To sing my song.
I’m goin’ ’round the world,
I got to find my girl, on my way.
I’ve been this way ten years to the day, ramble on,
Gotta find the queen of all my dreams.



Please keep in touch. My info is below. Also, I have had a number of requests for a “leave behind” of sound bytes. I have left a little something for everyone and they are located here:

Enjoy.


Thank you all.

They usually start the same way: You may or may not know that this is my last day at the company. The ubiquitous "so long, farewell" e-mail sent to everyone by everyone. It's hard not to be trite, because there really is no other way to say it: it's been a real pleasure working with you.

This site is a collection of those letters, the good, the bad, the humble and the truly original.

Say it like you mean it.
