I'm heading up today to the 2011 ASABE International Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. I haven't been to Kentucky before, so I'm excited about the trip. I'm also looking forward to catching up with old friends, making some new acquaintances, and learning more about current events in the industry. I'm also very excited to share the news about my new business, Zeckoski Engineering, with my peers.
I've been thinking about Zeckoski Engineering for quite a while and have finally decided to take the plunge and try out working for myself. I've been working remotely for two clients - Virginia Tech and Timmons Group - ever since I finished working with CTEH on the BP Deepwater Horizon oil spill response. The setup with both of these clients has been in a more traditional employer-employee relationship, but I was able to work from home, set my own schedule, and largely set my own goals, and I've found it to be a very rewarding experience. I think I have a lot to offer in this economic climate to companies that need modeling, GIS work, or simple software engineering tools developed but perhaps don't want the long term commitment of a permanent employee.

So if you're going to the international meeting, please stop me and say hi! I can't wait to meet you!
