Back in the Saddle

If you've been following along, you'll know that when we discovered Jacque's cancer, our house was already in a state of flux because of my period of unemployment.  While this initially seemed like terrible timing, it turned out to be quite nice, as I was able to stay with Jacque for all of her initial hospital stay, and attend subsequent doctor visits without having to fit work into the mix. 

When it became apparent that finding a new job for me was going to be a necessity, we decided that I needed to take time to figure out what I wanted to do (spoiler alert - not banking).  After much networking, and many calls, emails and coffee meetings,  I'm happy to report that I've accepted a position with Select Milwaukee, and will be leading their Homeownership Programs, beginning in the near future.  I'm excited to get back to my non-profit roots; I began my career with a non-profit and have continued to dabble in them over the years.

Select Milwaukee is a fantastic organization dedicated to achieving, preserving and sustaining the dream of home ownership.  Much of their community development efforts focus on first-time home buyers and city or bank-owned foreclosures.  Their services fill a need in the community, and they're experts in delivering those services.  I'm excited get started!

So that's one piece of the puzzle solved.  Jacque starts crushing cancer with chemotherapy tomorrow, where I'm sure she'll do fabulously.  As always, thanks for your thoughts and support.
