Hey all,
As Tony Corinda once said, "Good timing is invisible. Bad timing sticks out a mile." Unfortunately, this could not be closer to the truth.
Today is my final day as the NA Senior Community Manager here at Wargaming. I begin a new role at a new company tomorrow. My timing on this could not be more terrible. Unfortunately, this is how Murphy, in all his infinite wisdom, decided to manifest his laws.
It has been my honor and privilege to be a part of the community for World of Warships, and I have enjoyed my time here; we did some cool stuff. One of my fondest memories will always be having the opportunity to interview Captain Bob Batterson. To hear stories of World War 2 firsthand is an incredible honor, one I will cherish always.
We have had good times. We have had some not-so-good times. Still, through it all, those good and bad times all revolved around a video game. The 10-year-old me is someplace in an alternate reality (one that can see other future versions of realities) is freaking out that I get to work in and around such an incredible industry.
So why am I leaving? Well, my wife and I are expecting our second son any day now. Our first son has started school, and the new company I am moving to is entirely remote. While Wargaming is still working from home here in the states – eventually, a return to office scenario may happen.
My departure is not nefarious, a consequence, nor anything remotely related to current affairs; it is simply a life choice I am making.
It has been my honor and privilege to be part of this community, fair winds and following seas, shipmates.
