Hey everyone,

Thought Id update the board of my good news.

I have accepted the In House Counsel position with ReachUSA Magazine. I will be the right hand man to the CEO/Founder sitting in on all negotiations and advising. Im a bit nervous, but its why Ive worked so hard this past year with my day job and night job. I had to keep my law credentials strong in order to get a position like this.

Now I have to see if I can juggle the new job and a competition diet. We'll see what happens. I dont want those final 6 weeks to cause me to be drowsy and grouchy at my new position. Work comes first. I will just see how it all works out.

Jason,

Congratulations on your new position. From what you've described, you'll be engaged in a wide variety of legal issues. That'll keep the job interesting.

Good luck on prep for the contest!

Tom,

Glad to see you are still on the boards.

Correct me but, dont you do patent work? Engineer background? I might need you if I ever encounter patent issues. I know I cant write them of course, but if there are in house issues. I know Ill have to file trademarks which dont require a patent license.

But, yes I will easily cover the 12 large topics of the law or however, many there were on that Ohio Bar Exam, lol.

Congrats JT - Good luck with the transition and the new role.

Good for you Jason! Hard work pays off in all aspects.

Jason,

You're right, I do patent work. I also do trademark work, so if you have any questions in that area, let me know, and I'll be happy to point you in the right direction.

Best of luck on your contest diet. Sounds like you're moving right along. I'm presently preparing for the Natural Northern USA in Ohio on 10/1. Just like last time, I allowed myself to get too fat, and waited too long to buckle down, so I'm having to work hard to get my groove.
