Hello everyone!

Let's start with the most important thing: Thank you to everyone for
their congratulations and support. It's a great opportunity and honor to
step up here and work with this team, and the transition is proving to
be an enjoyable process. I am beyond grateful to Razmael, Oleis, Keroc,
and all the staff that make this game so amazing. Especially enthused
that we're not losing them, and I'm sure things will continue to be
great due to their effort and despite my leadership.

I'm getting up to speed quickly, but as Matt said, I'm an old hand wih
IRE, so it's not too terrible. Issues with purchases, housing, pets,
customization, etc... Oleis and I will both be looking at them, per his
news.

Being an Engineer and having so many years in project
design/implementation has imparted to me a more formal solution process
than everyone might be used to, but I'll try not to whip everyone too
hard. The current downturn in the oil industry has left me free to get
my soul out of hock and pursue some true dreams. IRE has been a constant
for most of my life and the move for me is a no-brainer.

Going forward expect me to continue the history of transparency and
interaction that Oleis and Razmael have had such success with. I'm sure
you're curious about direction, and we'll be rolling out some talk about
that, but for now Oleis has set a strong schedule and we'll be
continuing along it. Oleis wiped the slate and we're on the same page
going forward, to mix the metaphor.
Again, I cannot sufficiently express how grateful I am for this
opportunity and how excited I am about our future.
Thank you!
