Yes, he's gainfully employed...

Yes, you may have heard that I got a full-time job.  After more than a year of working part-time, taking the occasional consulting gig and doing some tour guiding to fun places like Seattle and San Francisco, I have accepted an offer to be the manager of the Business Resource Innovation Center in Carson City, NV.  This is a very exciting opportunity for me to be part of the solution in helping to create jobs in Northern Nevada.  My initial focus will be to provide one-on-one business counseling as well as business curriculum development.  Mentoring entrepreneurs will also be a big part of my efforts.

The BRIC is a one-stop shop for many business services in Carson City.  In addition to housing the business branch of the library and business development, there are many other city departments that call the BRIC home.  Business licensing, the permit center and the engineering, planning and building departments all can be found in one place just north of city hall.  The overarching goal of the BRIC is to support and nurture business activity in Carson City and the surrounding region.  And in the near future, there will be additional programs that will help new businesses get off the ground as well as help existing businesses reach new levels.

More exciting things to come!  I must say that I can't wait to start helping and inspiring folks to make a big impact on the community.
