All,
I wanted to pass along some exciting news from my world... I have accepted a new job effective this week. I will be a National Account Manager with a company called Jig-A-Loo. It's a Canadian-based company with its US headquarters in Statesville, NC, only 30 minutes from my place in Charlotte.

This opportunity came about through a former colleague of mine at Newell Rubbermaid. He landed at Jig-A-Loo last March and has been part of the huge success they've enjoyed recently. He approached me for this role, because the focus of my new position will be independent hardware (Ace, True Value, etc.), which was my focus last year when I traveled extensively in 2008.

They are a consumer goods manufacturer that has only had a retail presence in the United States since 2007, so the growth potential is amazing. As you may suspect, with a funny name, we're able to capitalize on that with effective marketing communications. Watch these videos from youtube of commercials we've aired in Canada. Too racy for the U.S...
Just wanted to pass that news along. I hope you're all doing well!

So cool, Matt! It's awesome that you were referred to them from a former colleague. It shows that relationships and contacts really pay off! I'm excited for you. When will you start?
