Jeremy Person's 2018 Resolutions

I have moved a lot in my 40 years. I was born in Iowa, moved to Sacramento, CA, moved to Truckee, CA, moved to Cameron Park, CA, moved to Reno, NV, moved to Crofton, MD, moved to Portland, OR, moved to the Bay Area, and finally in 2017 moved to Denver, CO. I'm used to change, to say the least, but as I grow older I have to admit this was my most difficult move yet.

Let me first start off saying I love California and I always will. California has it all, but there is a steep price tag that comes along with living there. We were renting for a number of years and my 3-hour round-trip daily commute got to be pretty grueling. Traffic in the Bay Area is insane and it afforded me lots of podcast time, but that was all time away from the family.

Leaving California also meant I had to leave Netflix which is the most amazing company you could ever hope to work for. I learned so much and had so many great opportunities there. I can't say enough about that company and the bright minds working there. Being techy, the biggest thing I miss about the Bay Area is being around like-minded tech folks. There isn't yet a lot of tech in Denver, although there is some.

• Spencer

  #1 - Spencer, IA

  Where it all began. I think I only lived there for a little less than a year so I don't remember anything from Spencer of course.

• Iowa

  #2 - Storm Lake, IA

  I do have memories from Storm Lake, IA as a kid which is interesting because we moved away when I was three.

• #3 - Truckee, CA

  #3 - Truckee, CA

  I attended kindergarten and first grade here.

• Sacramento

  #4 - Sacramento

  I attended second grade in Sacramento.

• Cameron Park

  #5 - Cameron Park

  My love of basketball started here. The neighbor had a hoop across the street. I used it 1000% more than he ever did. :)

• Reno, NV

  #6 - Reno, NV

  Reno is where I started growing up. My longest held friendships/connections started here. (6th-9th grade)

• Crofton, MD

  #7 - Crofton, MD

  Gave the East Coast a try. Was in Maryland for about half of the freshman year of high school. (9th - college)

• Portland

  #8 - Portland, OR

  Learned lots of things and met some great people in Portland. Moved to California for greater opportunities (and sun).

• Bay Area

  #9 - Bay Area, CA

  My favorite place to live so far. Tyler and Lizzy were both born in the Bay Area.

• Denver

  #10 - Denver, CO

  We moved to Denver! This altitude takes some getting used to!
