For those who are asking, yes, I’m doing some new stuff.

A number of you have asked me in person and privately what “the mysterious new jobs” are that I’ve added to my plate. It’s not a state secret, but I’ve been ridiculously busy with training, office meetings, getting up and running, etcetera, that I haven’t really had time to go into it. I’m still trying to get a VOIP phone up and running.

For those who are wondering, I recently became licensed to be one of South Dakota’s newest bail bondsmen, working for Speedy Release Bail Bonds. So, if you find yourself …ahem… momentarily on the wrong side of the law in the Brookings area, and you call 800-564-8898 seeking temporary release from the unfortunate situation you’ve found yourself in, I’m likely the person who will arrive to render assistance.

The other position I’ve taken on is for Leavitt Recreation and Hospitality Insurance, working on claims and social media.  That job was unexpected, but not unwelcome, as the opportunity came up and I couldn’t say no. They’re a great company, and gives me a chance to go back to my insurance roots. And being a digital media manager isn’t awful for my resume. They do specialty insurance coverage for RV Parks, Dude Ranches, Trampoline Parks, and many, many other specialty recreation venues nationwide.

Although I’m the guy in the back room (more specifically, my basement), It’s a great opportunity. When it allows me to continue to do my website, my print work, political stuff, Real Estate, etcetera and so on, it’s an offer I couldn’t refuse. I’m always excited to engage my creative outlet and brush up on my skills in design and production.  And, it gives me a good reason to eventually get my insurance license.

So for those who are asking, yes, I’m doing some new stuff. And loving every minute of it.
