Congratulations man. Good to hear that you've got a plan. I know way too many people that got out and just went to work for Exelon or someplace so that they could just smoke pot and get left alone.
I have a friend who works for Secure Computing and a little while ago he was looking to fill a position. Send me an email through CF.net and I will see about putting you in touch with him. You mentioned you were looking for a job in Houston but I'm not sure if Secure Computing has an office in Houston. Would you be willing to move?
