As some of you know, the “real estate hat” I tried on after selling my pest control business wasn’t quite the right shape for me.

As some of you know, the “real estate hat” I tried on after selling my pest control business wasn’t quite the right shape for me. Between the long cycles and the post-hurricane slowdown, I knew I needed to get back to what I do best. Something real. Something visible.

I wish it hadn’t taken this long. But it did. I searched everywhere. High and low. Near and far.

Just when I thought I’d have to rummage through my old hats, I glimpsed an intriguing one.

This one was different. New logo. New style. Would it fit? Would I like it?

The thing is, I wanted it to fit. Or, fit into it. So, I went for it.

Okay, enough with the tortured metaphor. The hat is a job—and I finally found the right fit with the Concrete Driveway Co.

I’m the new Outside Sales Manager for the Asheville area. I’ve only been at it a couple of weeks, but it feels good to be back in the field, meeting you at your homes and helping you solve problems.

I’m also enjoying the new challenges—like learning just how many variables go into a “simple” patio slab. It’s stretching my mental muscles in a way that’s actually satisfying.

If you (or someone you know) needs a new concrete driveway or patio, I’d love the opportunity to help. You can reach me here:

That’s the update. Here’s a pic of me with the new hat:

Just call me Shaggy

See you around town.
