5 years ?!?
Got a Facebook memory today. Sharing here because as hard as it is to believe it's been 5 years, it's also hard to believe it's only been 5 years.
A lot of people will tell you that work isn't family. Maybe that's often true - but if you're going to spend 10 years people, it's really special when they become close like family.
To all my HPA brothers and sisters who were there for the wild ride, I love and miss you all.

Today is my last day at HPA.
9 years, 10 months and 19 days.
75+ people. 70+ hires after only starting with 5.
2 acquisitions. 5 awards!
8 weddings, welcomed 10 babies. Said goodbye to 1 good friend, and then to my brother.\
Traveled all over the country. Traded the AMEX points for a patio set we still own.
3 laptops, 2 desktops, 5 monitors, 4 office chairs, just 2 keyboards. And who knows how many lines of code...
Most importantly: Played "We Built This City" 219 times.
Way more gray hairs than when it all started.
I've genuinely loved my HPA family and all we've been through. I'll never forget it.
It's strange, it's exciting.
