<p class=MsoNormal>Each New Year brings new opportunities and this year has
brought me an exciting one.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>During the holidays my father asked me to take over the
family electrical contracting business. I grew up with this company:
counting light fixtures, washing trucks, bookkeeping, even conducting safety
and environmental audits after college. It is because of my familiarity with
the business and family history that I decided to join Wiregrass Electric. My
last day with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) will be
January 30, 2009. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>The environmental experiences and knowledge I gained with
DEP will prove beneficial as I move forward in my new career. Sustainability,
product stewardship, pollution prevention, and of course alternative energy
will never be far from my mind. I hope that through managing my own company I
will continue to positively influence the environment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>My only hesitation in making this decision is leaving behind
the Household Hazardous Waste family that so warmly welcomed me nine years ago.
Individuals from DEP, municipal solid waste programs, the North American Hazardous
Materials Management Association and the Product Stewardship Institute make up
this family. They have shown me that dedication, integrity, cooperation and
creativity are values that can better our world. I am privileged to have worked
with such professional and passionate people. Thank you. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Best wishes to you and yours in 2009 and beyond!<br>
