That’s it! It’s official!
Columbia College called this morning and offered me a full time Web Developer position.
I am so excited to be joining this team.
Of course, Columbia College and I have a long history. My mother & father both attended there, I attended there, my best friend, my brother-in-law, and so many more friends all attended CC!
Dr. Lisa Ford-Brown and Dr. Amy Darnell, with the help of another student and myself pioneered the Speech Communication Degree which never existed in Columbia College history prior to our graduation in 2006!
When my mother and father attended Columbia College simultaneously, one took day classes and the other evening classes so they would pass my stroller in the hallways. Mom joked CC should have given me an honorary degree since I attended both her’s and my dad’s classes. Plus, when there was still a pool, that’s where I learned to swim! But there’s a Student Center sitting on top of the old pool now… It’s much prettier!
Regardless, my first day will be July 26th, 2010 and I’m super pumped.
Other than the fact that the people on the CC Web Team seem amazing from my interactions with them here are some more things I’m really looking forward to:
Bicycling to work (3.7 miles one way)
Showering on site (the awesome CC gym has a full shower / locker room facility)
Free college for Myself, my wife and any future children
Working less than a mile from my wife
Working at the same company with my best friend & his wife
Working less than 700 yards from our Church (Lunch with the church staff & drum practice over lunch)
So, needless to say, I’m very excited and feel extremely blessed.
Thank You for everyone’s prayers.
Congratulations! Dream jobs only come along so often – kudos on snagging one!
