“What happened to me is a bad thing but it also feels like a blessing because I have a brand new, fresh opportunity. I had been there three years, and just looking at myself in the mirror, I probably would have done the same thing Chicago did. I probably would have made the same decision Pace did but I can’t act like it isn’t tough because it is. Once you put in so much work, you have friends and you fall in love with the place and it was a nice place.”
