After about 3 months, I am set to rejoin the ranks of full-time employment.  I have agreed to become the Product Development Manager - Hardware and Devices at a great company that creates Electronic Medical Records software and integrates lightweight medical devices with various hardware components like tablet PC's as well as various software components like charting software.  I will be responsible for owning the hardware and device development process, which means I will drive out the requirements from our internal clients and work with our hardware and procurement teams to deliver the solution.  Technically, I will be developing the integration points between the devices and the various components.  So, it is really a good marriage between my technical background and my business background.  This is something that I have been patiently hoping to find and am very blessed to be joining the incredible team there, including Rich Steinle, who hired me, and Tony Dicuffa, who I have worked with in the past.

My first day will be the first of May.  The only downside is that the office is located in the Arboretum area so I will be joining those who battle Mopac every day.  I am hoping to work out a schedule that will allow me to come in early or later so as to avoid the mad rush hour. 

There's much more I could write but I'll stop for now.  Next week, I will be tackling a long list of "stuff" that I'd like to get done before I start working again.  One of them will be reflecting over the past few months and might include a blog entry or two.
