It’s official, I’ve joined the CSDVRS team full time!
How did this come about? A few months ago, Dennis O’Brien (you know, the guy who voted for Obama, cough, cough) introduced me to Hope Turpin, who is the Nationwide VCO Manager for CSDVRS. I went to 
work for Hope at the Deaf Expo and the ALDA conference, where I met the other members of the CSDVRS team. We had a lot of fun together and I really enjoyed working for CSDVRS for those two events.
I was also blown away by the two “Z” products, the Z150 and the Z340. “The Z150 can handle VCO calls without having to use a second phone,” Hope explained at the Deaf Expo. I was really excited about the two products–it was like playing with new toys. I grew up avoiding the phone because it was physically impossible for me to understand phone conversations. I was even a late-bloomer to videophones–most of my friends were using them long before I was. I simply didn’t understand the amazing freedom that I would have with the videophone.
After working with the CSDVRS team, I knew I wanted more. I applied for a full-time job as a Nationwide VCO Outreach Specialist. At the same time, a position opened up for Sales Manager for Illinois and Wisconsin. As fate would have it, the moons aligned, the stars came out and that’s how I ended up being the Sales Manager for IL and Wisconsin as well as partnering with Hope for Nationwide VCO Outreach as well.
So starting in January, I’ll be painting the nation BLUE and introducing people to phone access that they never before dreamed was possible.
