Last Day
Friday was my last day at Dow Jones. It was a surreal day. I couldn’t believe that after 7 years I was all done. I think I am still in shock. While I am very excited to start medical school, I am very sad to be leaving such a special place. It is very hard for me to express in words the impact this group of people has had on my life. This group is the smartest, most energetic, driven group I have ever met. This is proven by the growth and change that has occurred since Jamie, Phil, and others started BigCharts way back when. To go from BigCharts, to CBS MarketWatch, to Dow Jones is really a testament to the intelligence and energy of everyone involved. When I started with BigCharts back in ’99 I had no idea what type of ride I was signing up for. I am so thankful to Jamie for the opportunity to be involved in an amazing journey. I am sure that I will see (as a humble bystander) incredible things from them in the future.
So with that I want to wish everyone at Dow Jones continued success and happiness. You are an amazing group of people and I will miss you very much. There is an Irish Toast that seems appropriate, “May you have warm words on a cool evening, a full moon on a dark night, and a smooth road all the way to your door.” Take care and best of luck.

Wow!!!
I should be checking the blogs more often! This one was certainly a shock. I think it’s a great decision though. Despite the impact you made on BigCharts/CBS MKTW/DJ MKTW, I know your talents will extend much further.
I enjoyed working with you and wish you the best!!!

Thanks Joel, I also enjoyed working with you! Good to hear from you. It was a really tough decision to leave. It is an amazing group of people that challenged me every single day. While I loved working there, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to follow a long-time dream. Although the work-load of medical school is kicking me squarely in the butt, it is really interesting and I am loving every second of it (except the 4 hour tests).
Keep in touch and let me know if you are ever in town and we can go grab a beer!
