We're moving to San Francisco, CA!

Jacob has accepted a new job at Engine Yard in San Francisco, CA as a Senior Ruby on Rails Developer!  We will be driving across the country starting September 18th, arriving around September 24th and he will start his job on September 27th.

In July, Jacob mentioned he wanted to look for a new job and started looking in Boston and California. I fully supported him and the job adventure began.

He got three interviews in California and four interviews in Boston. We went out to San Diego together for his interview and caught some great surf. He went to San Francisco by himself for his interviews. We have been to San Francisco to surf, camp and hike a bunch of times and have always loved the area.

After the long interviewing process, he was offered jobs in Boston and San Francisco. After a lot of deliberation and weighing all the options, the best job offer for Jacob was at Engine Yard.

We have a couple of weeks to pack up everything and move out to California. His new job originally wanted him to start on September 20th, but it wouldn't have given us enough time to get everything together to move.

Both Jacob and I have always wanted to live in California for many reasons. We are excited and grateful that we have the opportunity to live there. While Jacob is starting his new job, I will be Spreading the Swell anywhere and everywhere, freelance designing, discovering the area, meeting new people and surfing.

We are both very excited to drive across country, discovering all the great things California has to offer, meeting new people, surfing a new coast, and all the adventures ahead. We have a lot to look forward too.

We will definitely be back to visit the east coast as all our family and friends are here. We will always be die hard New England surfers, but now we are going to discover a new coast, new waves, new mountains to snowboard, and meet new surfers on the west coast.

Spread the Swell,
