REASON FOR LEAVING:
This was a great job, but at the end it required me to be out of town for 8 months out of
each year. Year after year. I had a wife and 6 small children at home. My boss needed me
out of town and after asking if I could work in town it was apparent that I was making my
boss allot of money out of town and he wasn't willing to put me in town so I pursued my
contracting full time so I could be home to help my wife at night and on weekends. Best
boss, best company every but my family needed me. My wife had major back surgery and
no one else to help.
