Good Bye Las Vegas. July 1st or 2009 I made a decision to hop in my truck and leave everything that I knew in Ohio to move to Las Vegas in an attempt to spread my wings. I never thought that the experience would trump my expectations but in this case it did. I want to express my gratitude for the amazing people and experiences that Las Vegas has given me. I expected to have fun with my friends from Ohio. Cody Weiss , Jon Souter and PJ Bolanis. However, the experience trumped my expectation. I never had a big brother growing up and the thought that these three would become my big brothers means the world to me. We have been through just about everything that you could ever imagine and the fact that we still are there for one another truly makes me happy. I love you guys. You guys have been there in ways that no one has and our bond will last a lifetime. If I havent said it enough Thank You. I expected to meet people that would share the same passions as I had, but once again the experience trumped my expectations. I met so many people who have changed my thought process, my views on what is important and what it is to be a man. I took a liking to these brothers from Maine who over the past years have become two of my best friends. Gino Dipietro and Angelo DiPietro might be two of the best guys this city has to offer and what started as a work relationship at JET Nightclub turned into me meeting and falling in love with their entire family. I cant even begin to tell you how much fun we have had over the years. They introduced me to a red head named Craig Okeefe and Kevin Justin, James Warren Scott, Kyle Heverly . Andreas Vasiliu, Craig Keenan Cory Sky, and Tony Paoli. I never thought I would say Boston is my second favorite city but because of them it is. I will always treasure my times with you fellas. #L7FAM I expected to meet a lot of women while in Vegas, but I never expected to be leaving with a sister. Jessica Pribanic you have been a good friend for over 15 years and I am so happy to call you one of my best friends. You have always been there for me. We have been having talks for a long time and you have always been my biggest fan. I can still beat your ass in pool though. I love you! I expected to make friends but like everything else in vegas the experience trumped my expectations. My Sundays will never be the same in the hot summer. Heather Demcuk and Dan Beshell you two have been great friends and I wanted to let you know that I truly appreciate the love and support you have shown over the years. I will miss Sunday Funday. I promise to attend next summer. Brian Perry Chachie Overheul Mark Kennoy Kim Kennoy Derek Bloom Kayla Bloom ( doest have facebook I expected to find a job in sales, or as a bartender when I arrived but the experience once again trumped my expectations. I stumbled across a job as a girl guy at Jet Nightclub and that led to 11 more positions with my only employer during my 5+ years. The Light Group to me was more than a job, it was a mindset and I truly loved everything about it. I loved my job so much I sacrificed many other parts of my life at times because of the joy I got out of it. I learned so very much from Andy Masi and countless others about the hospitality management business that I could honestly never thank them enough. This experience will be evident in my future ventures. Kalika Moquin John Thomason Robert Gamch Charles Harris Tim Reynolds Pearce Cleaveland Natalia Harris John Pettei Johnny Mac Steve Oakes Jeff Henry Sean Dunn Josh Donaldson I expected to run into problems in Las Vegas from time to time as many of us have. My experience once again trumped my expectations. This city has a way of humbling the best of us and it surely brought me to my knees. I had a serious drinking problem and because of my faith in myself as well as god, the previously mentioned people and a host of others I was able to persevere and continue to improve as a man, a friend, a son, a brother, and employee. Everyone who helped me through this point in my life will never leave my heart and your kind words and motivation will forever remain a part of me. Nick Gold and Brett Michael Curry I truly appreciate your wisdom and guidance over the past 28 months. Heather DeLorme Sara Machande Cathy Vongnaraj Nick Gold Brett Michael Curry Sabina Amor Mikaela Murray Shannon Kelly Stephanie Gray Denise Boddie With all of this being said I always displayed and shared my passion for Ohio. I always knew that something was missing from my successes and failures while I was in Las Vegas. I missed Ohio, and I missed my family. It has came time that in my life where I have a complete understanding on what is important to me. I am in a place in my life where it is time to come home. Love, Josh
