launchpad67a Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 It's been in the works for about a year now, but a few weeks ago my wife and I decided to make the move to Phoenix on August 1. She has been working there for the past 2 years and commutes from our current home in Prescott, AZ, which is 90 minutes north of Phoenix. She's gone on average about 5-6 days at a time and it's taken it's toll on her. She holds a high profile position at the Arizona Biltmore, one of the top 10 resorts in the country. I can do my job(s) from anywhere (own a web design company, play in 2 bands, run production for major concerts and large events, and shoot professional firework displays). But one nice bonus for me that comes with moving to Phoenix is the amount of work I can get, especially in the concert and firework business. I've had a number of offers from major production companies wanting to bring me on board full time, and the fireworks company I work for is based in Phoenix. They want me to shoot more shows around the state for them as well. So these things make me happy and make the move a little easier. Both of my bands play all around the state, so the move won't effect gigs for either of them. We travel for most gigs anyhow, so it's no big deal. I can obviously run my web design business from anywhere, so nothing changes there either. So while I'm sad to leave this beautiful city in the mountains and move to the hottest city on earth, there are a number of huge doors that will open. Come on over, we have a killer house with tons of room...and an awesome pool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Launch-Con in Phoenix sounds like fun! But, definitely AFTER the temps have cooled down. Congratulations on the move and the new opportunities it will bring!

hunter Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 Congrats. Commuting is no fun. Too bad you had to leave Prescott though. It is pretty. But a pool is a good consolation right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
