Official Announcement: Rochard is leaving Lightspeed Cash
 

Over the last 5 years, my time with Lightspeed Cash has been a fantastic learning and growing experience. However, sometimes in order to continue developing change is in order - sometimes it has to be a big change. This past August, I realized that I found myself at a crossroad. After speaking with Steve, we came to the conclusion that after 5 years, I'd reached my ceiling with Lightspeed Cash. It was time for me to move beyond Lightspeed Cash and to continue pushing myself, trying new things, and pursuing new goals.

Steve Lightspeed has taken good care of me, financially and otherwise, and I have no regrets or complaints. He has taught me everything I know about the industry and I can never repay him for this. The past five years has been a blast. Steve Jones, in my eyes, is one of the smartest persons in the industry.

Besides thanking Steve Lightspeed for everything, I need to thank Shannon for keeping the money flowing on all levels and keeping us organized, and our programmer Tut for keeping up with our insane pace. Of course I'd like to thank Sweetums who has become a great friend through out the past two years.

The one company I'd like to thank is National Net. They are top notch from top to bottom; Lightspeed Cash grew quickly and National Net was there holding my hand at every step of the way. I remember one night before we moved over to National Net where Tony was on the phone with me at 3am trying to fix server problems while we were hosting with someone else. And I couldn't imagine the past five years without Bill and Thomas.

My final day with Lightspeed Cash is set for December 30th, 2005. Following that date, all companies requiring information regarding feeds, content, etc?should contact Steve Lightspeed directly at [email protected]. Thank you all for being a part of the last 5 years with me. 2006 is gearing up to be a very exciting year and I'm looking forward to seeing everyone in Vegas!!

Best of luck to you Richard.

I am sure Steve will miss you.

You mean, 2005, right? You're not giving us a notice more than a year away, I'd assume...


EDIT: I see others have already pointed this out.


And a PS: Remember me saying things were changing at LS? This is one of them. I'm sad to see the best part of Lightspeed go. Wonder who else is going............

So where are you off to?

Good Luck!
