Today is my last day with Geek Squad. It’s a bit emotional but I’m thankful for all the people I’ve met, all the things I’ve learned, and all the opportunities I’ve had.
Cura et Celeritas, Agents. I’m here with friends, sharing a drink, and awaiting the signal.
Me, circa 2015, on stage in front of our store leaders presenting Agent on Demand using Apollo 13 as an analogy. I guess I could have seen this career change coming! #memorylane
Our holiday potluck is this morning and I made sure Geek Squad was as represented with a great centrepiece.
(I also covertly swapped the Yule log with a Darth Vader funeral pyre)
Agents, after 11 years in Geek Squad, my watch has ended. I'm off on new interplanetary adventures in just a couple weeks.
It's hard to express how much Geek Squad has meant to me, what's its done for my development and career, and how great it has been to work with all of you.
Don't fret! I'm leaving for great reasons.
Many know that I'm obsessed with space and run a podcast called
@We_Martians
. I've decided it's time to take that more seriously, and am working to turn it into a business.
More on my decision here: wemartians.com/an-exciting-s…
Thanks to everyone who has helped me along the way.
Keep in touch!

Requesting Sleeper Status, and signing off to await the signal. Cura et Celeritas!
Our reserve and pickup service is pretty bumpin’ today! All hands on deck as Mission Control and our Retail Ops teams are out in stores picking product! #BlackFriday
Stopped by my old store in St. Catharines and they have a great shrine to Geek Squad up.
Still has the One True Screwdriver that I put in a shadow box as a parting gift to them when I moved to head office 6 years ago.
Had a lovely time at #SLC2019 with our amazing Store Leaders. This company has the best people.
Now I’m off to Niagara for Thanksgiving to spend some time with family and friends from my old stomping grounds at Store 950!
Couple of Agents heading off to the Big City for Best Buy’s leadership conference. Judging by @AgentParr’s face I’m thinking he got a middle seat.
Come work for a great company. We’re on boarding a whole whack of new friends today.
