I’m sure most people at Telligent have heard the story by now, but I want to put it out here as I’ll start documenting my new “adventures”.

A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine approached me at church telling me he was moving his company to the Yucatan in Mexico. He then asked if I knew any IT Directors. Well, duh. 🙂 I said that is what I do. After that we started talking about it. After much thought and prayer, my wife and I decided this was an opportunity that we couldn’t pass up.

I used to work as a dive instructor in the Caribbean and my long-time wish has been to get back there and eventually open a dive shop. She has been a dive master for almost as long and we met diving. This is a blessing I couldn’t have ever asked for.

I have to pause here to say how much I have loved working at Telligent. Rob, Jason and the whole crew there are absolutely amazing. Not only are they all amazingly talented workers but they are all extremely good people. Fun to work with and fun to hang out with. Thanks so much for the opportunities I’ve had at Telligent. I’ll work to take all I’ve learned being a Telligenti and take it to all of my future endeavors. I wouldn’t have left Telligent if this wasn’t in the Caribbean and 30 min from the beach.

So, where will I be working and what will I be doing? I am now the IT Director for Anres Corp. and we’ll be moving the main office and call center from Plano, TX to Merida, Mexico on the Yucatan peninsula. Anres provides prepaid credit cards for different purposes. More on that as I learn more myself.  Here’s a map of where Merida is:

As you can see, we’ll be about 2 hours from Cancun and 30 min from the beach. We’re very excited about this and very nervous all at the same time. I should be starting the process of the move in the next week or two.

Well I guess that about covers it for now. Hold on tight, here we go…
