Its all true! After spending ~89.4% of my life in Connecticut, I’m headed out. I’m fixin to move to North Carolina. Once UConn’s Emeka Okafor picked Charlotte, I said: “Self, follow Emeka!”… (just kidding)… I am headed down to take an awesome opportunity to head up Systems Engineering for a division of General Dynamics.
I’ve had an awesome 6.5 years at UTC, I’ve made tons of friends among all the great New England teams… I’ll miss you guys… but we’ll meet again… I mean: the New England Regional will still need a head ref next year… And yes… I actually did negotiate that into my contract! And I am closer to Atlanta now…
Charlotte is an awesome place… lots of companies have their headquarters there… Wachovia Bank, Bank of American, Goodrich… but… they don’t have any teams… I wonder if that will change now?
I’ll be in Connecticut for another week and a half before I board the southbound train.
So, since you are moving, does that mean you are holding a moving sale and selling a certain 2-wheeled transportation device?? :rolleyes:
(I’m thinking the answer to that one is a big no…)
Good luck in NC, and spread the word of FIRST while you are down there.
Good Luck
I know you will enjoy Charlotte. There are enough transplanted New Englanders there, so everyone won’t sound funny.
It’s a little different than Enfield or Ellington from where I’m from.
Aidan your leaving us :ahh: . Well on behalf of RAGE Team 173 I would like to wish you nothing but the best of luck down in NC. Well I guess we will see you next year at UTC hopefully.
Best of luck in NC. It has been great working with you and I look forward to doing it again. Aidan’s presence will definitely make NC a hot spot for FIRST.
