We’re Moving!

Well, it is official…we are moving to Houston, TX. After many months of interviewing and negotiating, Erik accepted a position as the Commercial Manager for GE’s High Speed Reciprocating Compressor product line. Erik will be responsible for new pricing initiatives, customer responsiveness and growing the international segment of the business. Erik will officially start this role on August 31st, however he has already been doing some work to get up to speed with business operations. Thankfully he will be able to work from Oshkosh through September until he has to permanently be in Houston.

We will be putting the house on the market in the next week. We are very sad to leave our home, neighborhood and friends here, but are very thankful for this professional opportunity. Marin will continue to work for Family Services until the house sells. We don’t anticipate having to commute for more than 4 months, since there is an option for a buy-out of the house if we are unable to sell it quickly.

After our house sells, we will be purchasing a new home in Houston. We will be looking at neighborhoods on the northwest side. Once we do get settled, we would love to have guests. We are guaranteed to have a much more pleasant winter than Wisconsin!

Thanks to everyone who has been thinking about us and praying for us through this time of transition. It is reassuring that despite the current economy and layoffs within GE, Erik was able to receive a promotional position…even if it means moving to Houston.

We promise to keep everyone posted in the next few weeks and months!

Marin and Erik
