Change

About a year ago, I had one of the toughest conversations of my career. I had to let my management know that I would be leaving Church employment this year. It was tough because I revere and love these men and I adore my job, for many reasons. I've spent seven wonderful years here, but that's seven more than I originally intended. This week we formally announced my resignation from Church employment.

Working as the CIO for the LDS Church has been an incredible and humbling experience. I've grown, both professionally and personally.

The Church has always used and will continue to use technology to accomplish its mission. I'm honored and grateful to have played a small part.
