Returning to Sacramento

I have some news to share. As some of you have known, Jennifer and I had been looking to return to the West. After a long set of discussions, I have joined the investment office for a western pension manager this week. I am working for CalPERS in Sacramento (conveniently close to Sierra skiing).

Apologies for the short notice, but due to the California budget issues, I had to get on site quickly. It was sad+hard to leave my prior shop -- which I loved and was thriving at -- but we are excited about my new role, and expect that it will offer a different path for professional growth. At this stage in our lives, it is also important that we be closer to family.

Hopefully I will get back to the East Coast a few times this year so that we can more properly say goodbye to many of you.
