Time for a career change?

Dear Friends & Family,

Many of you have known for a while that there were likely some changes coming with regards to my work situation. As a result of the downturn in the economy, Dan (the owner of LAMMCO) considers it necessary to do some restructuring of the business in an effort to reduce overhead. His reorganization plan includes the elimination of my job with my tasks and responsibilities being distributed amongst the other sales and office employees.

For some time, Dan has been hinting that he would like to see me in full-time sales. So, it was no surprise to me that last week he offered to keep me on staff in a commission based sales position. Sherry and I considered the offer, sought counsel from a number of sources, and spent much time in discussion and prayer with regards to our future. The conclusion that we’ve come to is that accepting a sales offer with LAMMCO is not a wise or feasible option for our family.

Despite the tough economic times, it seems that God is clearly directing us to pursue other opportunities that will allow me to grow professionally and provide financial security for our family now and in the future. Fortunately, we believe that we’re in as good a position as we’ll ever be to take some time to carefully consider all of our options. Therefore, it has been mutually agreed that today will be my last day at LAMMCO.

Sherry and I covet your prayers for guidance and wisdom. We’ll be taking a family vacation next week and hopefully using that time to clear our minds and begin to focus on the next chapter in our lives. As the direction we’re heading begins to take shape, we’ll keep you all updated with the details.

In the meantime, please change my e-mail address to troy@tippyvss.com and feel free to send us any of your questions, comments, or concerns.
