Chapter II "Las Vegas"

In 1997 while working in Tech I was presented the opportunity to join a new start-up and open up a division of our company in Las Vegas, NV. At the time the Las Vegas boom was well underway and technology was to be part of all the new mega resorts. Initially I was not too excited about this, but after giving it much thought I was willing to pack up all my belongings and move to Las Vegas. The worst part was being away from family and the Temple, so to sweeten the deal I got 2 flights home every month. I packed up my goods, put my car on top of a tow trailer and drove down to Vegas. I would be lying if I told you that I had no fear or that I was sure about this journey. All I knew was that I had made a choice to do this and was going to see it through. I got there and the first thing I did was to find a place to live. I ended up in Henderson (neighboring town to Las Vegas) in the area of Green Valley. This was close to my office and the airport which came in handy for us since we shipped all products in and out of Vegas. Once there I found a nice Fitness Center, Green Valley Athletic Club, which had 12 indoor Tennis courts along with indoor and an outdoor pool. This place was massive but given the 112 degree avg summer temps being indoor was the only way to survive and keep active.
