Thanks guys. The reserve program has a lot of potential for me, and I could be doing some cool things if it all works out.

I'm not a big "put all your business out there" person on the internet, I usually like to read, learn, and contribute. That said, I know what I do for a living often frames how my responses are viewed by others, so in the interest of full disclosure I wanted to update you guys...

At age 30, I finally graduated with my engineering degree from A&M last week. I have been going to class during the day, and working patrol at night to finish up and maximize time with family. I have accepted an offer from a large electrical manufacturing company to work in their Houston office as a sales engineer (trainee for now). It is with mixed emotions that I have resigned my current position with my department.

I left on good terms, and am welcome back, and things have been going well for my application as a reserve deputy with a large sheriff's department in the Houston area...I have had a blast, learned a lot, and been able to give back to my community. I leave behind some amazing friends, but I will be close to the area. While it is turbulent and tricky moving a family of four, including a bouncy 15 week old boy, I believe that the Lord has led us into this, provided what we need and more, and that it will be the right move long-term.

I will continue to be active in the LE sphere, as it is fun, rewarding, and keeps me sharp. I also am excited to be involved in serving the community in which I will be living in a different capacity.

We have been in the process of relocating to Houston this month. Once we get settled, I look forward to catching up with some of you, and meeting others for the first time.
