Michael has been hired at Red Rock Jeep Tours and will start in a week and a half. Seven Canyons has been a good job, but their financial situation leaves us concerned that some day soon they won't be able to pay everyone on payroll. He will be making a little more money and the people he has met so far in the company seem like good people to work with/for.
He got a call from a friend of ours, "Rock", about the job. Apparently Rock gave Michael such a good recommendation that the RRJT general manager practically had decided to hire him before she met him. Michael said it was like she wasn't going to take no for an answer (not that he wanted to say no or anything). Thanks Rock!!
He will primarily be a Jeep mechanic, but they will also train him as a guide so he can do that sometimes as well. Whe he guides, he gets to dress up in his vintage western gear. He will even get to teach roping to tourists every once in a while as part of a Disney Out West package (Disney is a sponsor for RRJT).
We are excited for this change and hope it turns out to be as good as it sounds.
Congrats to Michael! It sounds like a lot of fun. Good luck on this new adventure!
