Farewell to our big Johnson

When Brendan and I started ResIM we always knew the day would come when we'd have to part ways with a core member of our team -- it's an inevitable step in the evolution of any business. I think we kinda held on to a sense of optimism that this eventuality wouldn't ever come to pass.

Well, we received our wake-up call about a month ago when Owain Johnson, the first employee we ever hired, nervously announced he was leaving the company to move back up north to be closer to friends and family. I must admit, it takes balls to make a decision like this and I applaud Owain for putting himself first and jumping at an opportunity that doesn't come around often. As they say 'Don't be afraid to go out on a limb. That's where the fruit is.'

Owain, the dedication and commitment you've shown over the last four years has been remarkable and no doubt is a cornerstone of our success. It was just the three of us for quite some time but you stuck it out through the trials of a fledgling business and were always there supporting Brendan and I.

Good luck in your future endeavors, even if it involves building applications on an inferior operating system ;)
