THE NEW JOB
God has certainly met us here, here in Santa Barbara. I am proud to announce that after two months of prayer and waiting, I’ve been named the President/CEO
of the Carpinteria Valley Chamber of Commerce. Tarah could not have convinced me that the decision to move back to Santa Barbara would result in stepping into a position that I enjoy and have experienced success in. No one could actually. However, God has shown me that my “ways” are not His ways and He can do all the things you ask of in His name. I feel blessed that God has seen us through a difficult transition in our lives and blessed us both with new friends, great jobs, a nice house and a beautiful city.
So I am excited about Carpinteria, a town very similar in size to Shelton. It is a beautiful small beach town with a diverse business core and great people. It also has a great brewery with some great local brews!
So, tomorrow I finish my first week. Not a full week, but my first week back and it feels great to be in the saddle again. I hope some of you come and visit Tarah and I soon. We’re having a BBQ Saturday and wine tasting on Sunday, so don’t wait, the weather is just going to get better.
Oh, and I was in the local paper today. Carpinteria also has a weekly local paper that comes out on Thursday, isn’t that quite the coincidence? The paper is called the Coastal View. The Business Brief section is on page 7. Enjoy!
