Leaving my current position

Hey everyone

A lot of you know me as the CAD Manager for Kitchen & Associates, a 50-person architectural firm just outside Philadelphia. I had the distinct honor of transitioning 25 people at that firm from Arris on Unix to Archicad on Mac. It was one of the hardest things I've ever done in my career. The end result, though, was working in a new and exciting world of BIM, and worth all of it.

Now the time has come for me to leave K&A.

I won't be leaving Archicad, though. I'll be moving to an even bigger challenge: I've accepted a position as BIM Operations Manager at a much larger firm, one of the largest Archicad-using firms out there with 400+ employees and about 200 seats of Archicad.

A couple of their people have posted here on the forums (like Rob "Pivoarch" Pivovarnick). From the level of questions, you could tell that this firm knew what it was doing in Archicad. Seeing it in person, they were even more impressive than I imagined.

I'm hoping to still be involved here on the forums. It's where I got help on my early days of Archicad (early 2003) and I want to keep giving back.

(and by the way, I'll be looking for good Archicad users, if anyone in Central Jersey is interested....)

Actually, we are looking for any good ArchiCAD users pretty much everywhere, Princeton, Atlanta, NYC, DC, San Fran, London, and possibly Dubia.

Yeah, you're right. I keep forgetting that there are so many different offices!
