Leaving D.C.

Seven years in DC come to a close today as I prepare for new adventures in LA and beyond. Wheels up, glad I have Piggy Doll rolling deep!

The only bags I took with me to LA, I shipped the rest to Oregon (below). No one knew that I was going to leave by the end of 2012, but me. [caption written August 16, 2025]


My old apartment at 2700 Q Street in Washington DC. All these boxes shipped to Oregon, while I [temporarily] moved to LA to secure the team and accounts before I would resign. [caption written August 16, 2025]


Author’s notes:

  • Images originally posted on Tumblr here and Path*-to-Tumblr here.

  • NB: *Path was a social network where you could have a max of 150 friends, founded by Dave Morin et al' - more on Wikipedia about Path

  • I shared things in the comments in 2025, above, that only a few people knew at the time in 2012. I have enough distance from the experience that I can share this information neutrally - whereas before, it would be highly charged (for me and likely for others).
