Goodbye to REAL
Yesterday was my last day as Marketing Director for REAL Waterports. It was a good run. A lot of it documented right here on this blog. Highlights most certainly include the planning and execution of the 4th Annual Triple-S Invitational, the Alumni Retreat in Montauk, NY, the Heineken-sponsored Gizmodo event and the 2009 REAL Holiday Catalog. WOW! What a year!
Thank you to Matt and Trip, the two guys who started it all, for giving me a shot. I understand now what it takes to run a small and growing business...all the moving parts...trying to keep an eye on everything. I have a lot of respect for them and I wish them all the luck in the world.
The best part about REAL is the people. Really good people.
As for me...stay tuned.
