Last day as a sales manager

Today is my last day in my current sales manager position.   I will be joining GE's Corporate Leadership Program (CLS) next week.    I anticipate a lot of changes and great experiences in the near future.    I was lucky to have another great day with the family.

Promoting GE Energy Services Gas Turbine repairs

Today Rob Viezer, GE Repairs, and I met with the Platte River Power Authority at Rawhide Energy station.    GE's repair services offer some of the best service centers in the world.    I've had the opportunity to visit 5 service centers (Denver, Salt Lake, Houston, McAllen and Greenville) and they are all very impressive.

Tri-state Generation golf outing

Today Jim Egan and I took out Ron Bisbee from Tri-state Generation to play a round of golf.   This time we were at the Indian Peaks Golf Course.   It was another beautiful day.

Great day in Colorado

Red Rocks and Golden outing

Today Tanya, Valentina and I went on a hike in Red Rocks Park.   It was really beautiful and was very happy to finally see the amphitheater.   This was something I've been meaning to visit since we got here.    Then we rewarded ourselves to a beer and buffalo burger at the Capital Grill in Golden.    This was a great day with la familia.

My favorite place for lunch in Golden 

One of my all-time favorite burgers, Buffalo slider

The Capital Grill adds fried onions and jalapenos which makes this burger soooo good

Valentina having lunch with her cousin Connor

Today I took Valentina, her cousin Connor and his cousin Brian to Carboncitos.   We had some excellent tacos and Horchata to wash them down.   It was great to spend some time with my nephew Connor.
