Thank You eBay!

Hi all,

If you haven’t heard, this week will be my last here at eBay after two awesome years. I thought about this one for a while and ultimately, the timing was right.

So I will be joining a start-up called Meraki in Downtown Mountain View and I’ll be part of a tiny team trying to break the digital divide by opening up wireless broadband internet access to the rest of the world. More specifically, I’ll be doing anything, on and off-line, design wise to help get the word out.

It’s been an honor to work on such challenging projects with such wonderful, passionate, and knowledgeable people. It’s very humbling being around the talent here. I have grown so much because of you all.

I leave behind my work on iWeb so hopefully if you need to reference anything, it’ll be easy to find and as for people needing documentation done, I will get them up before my last day in PDF form.

I'm sorry if I haven't had the chance to talk to everyone in person before this email. I would love to grab coffee, chat via email, IM, and of course there's always the going-away party this Friday at Katie Bloom’s.

All the best,
John

I left eBay about 18 months ago after 3 great years. I loved working for them, but needed a relocation due to my wife's health. We've made a decent living out in the country and have had many unique opportunities.

Wall Street has been good to us and we help others learn to invest as well, but we still have our eBay stores and do a fair amount of trade there as well.

Good luck on your new venture!
