For nearly a year, I’ve been in charge of Tony Roma’s social media presence, and their website. I’ve run email campaigns, helped set up a new SMS marketing program. I’ve run contests, built an intranet from scratch, traveled a lot, and even had my own office. My coworkers have become some of my closest friends, and I get free Tony Roma’s food pretty much any time I want.
I must have a pretty sweet gig lined up to leave a situation like that, eh? Nope.
I’m not leaving because I have another job offer. To be honest, the only think I know for sure right now is that I have to be out of my apartment by the 1st of May. I’m not sure where I’m going. and I’m definitely not sure what I’ll be doing. All I know is that I need a change, and that life is too short not to be living a life I love.
Most people might think I’m crazy to walk away from a gig in sunny Florida, where I get pretty much free reign to do whatever I want on the social web for a company with a presence in over 30 countries… and maybe they’re right. I am a little crazy.
I’m currently working on selling all of my possessions until everything that I own can fit into my Mini Cooper.
In the next few months, I’ll be spending a lot of time at the beach, reading and writing, and working on some pet projects that I’ve been putting off.
I figure it’s time for me to try to find out what I want to do with my life. I wand to do what I love, rather than what’s easy.
I hope you join me on my journey. All feedback, encouragement, and ideas are welcome.











Bravo Nate! Bravo! Sounds like an adventure to me! Best of luck!
You are a brave soul! Go forth and conquer!
Thanks, Parker!
Going forth. Conquering.
