    About Me I'm the CEO and President of CJ Ventures, Inc., which includes Medical Mingle, Absolutely Health Care, and Rehab Options USA, Med Options USA, and Nurse Options USA. I'm married to my high school sweetheart Robin for 28 years, have two terrific kids, Cary and Jessica, and we have a small zoo in our home, with 3 Huskies, and 2 cats. We live on a lake in Lake Worth, FL, which is in Palm Beach County.
    Music Love Smooth Jazz, Classic Rock, R & B, and Popular Music.
    Movies I like action movies and comedies.
    TV
    Likes I love to travel, exercise, attend sporting events, comedy, and the theatre.
    Dislikes The opera and the ballet, which I need to go to from time to time to make my wife happy.
    Hobbies I consider our company as both my job and a major hobby. During the workday, I work to generate business and help our customers. During down time, I often spend time to think and come up with innovative ways to improve our business, products, and services. It is a joyful task that never ends. My newest hobby is Medical Mingle, which has been a lot of fun to meet and interact with our members.
    Smoke No
    Drink Yes
    Virtues Hard working, loyal, caring, and generous. I love doing nice things for other people.
    Heroes I can think of a few, but one is Alonzo Mourning with the Miami Heat, who has overcome serious illness, and plays basketball with the type of tremendous passion that I have for my job and for our company. He is also a fine person that does for others through Alonzo Mourning Charities.
    My Profession President & CEO - MedicalMingle.com
    A Bit About My Job I'm the leader of a team that has created a unique set of recruitment tools for the health care and medical field, and have packaged them in a way that no one else has. The buck stops here in trying to keep over 1,000 client companies happy in an industry, where there are endless openings, and not enough talent to fill them. This makes for an interesting job, as no matter how hard we try, it's virtually impossible to keep everyone happy all the time. However, we try to do our best, and just keep on working at improving at all times. We've helped hundreds of thousands of job seekers over the years, so it's rewarding to know that we've helped a tremendous number of people.

    Upgrading Our Forums On Tuesday Morning

    Monday, June 23, 2008, 10:21 AM EST [General]

    Please read the note below from our OneSite Project Manager:

    Hi Ken,

    The plan is to migrate the forums Tuesday morning. It shouldn't take longer than an hour and a half. There will not be redirect in place at the time but we will be able to import any new posts made during that time. It would be best to alert users that they should not post during that time. The plan is to begin migration at 9:00 a.m. (CDST) on Tuesday. That will be 10:00 a.m. your time (EDST).

    It will take approximately 45 minutes to migrate and then there will be approximately 20 minutes more of changes and cleanup before the new forums will be ready to go.

    Have a great weekend.

    Urgent Note Regarding Our June Contest

    Saturday, June 21, 2008, 11:05 AM EST [General]

     As many of you are aware, we switched our monthly contest rules in the beginning of June, and there are over $1,000 in prizes up for grabs in June. Everyone has a chance to win, and there is only a little over a week to go until the end of the month.

    Please read the contest rules on our home page.

    The first step to win a prize (and maybe the only step needed in June) is to recruit a new member to Medical Mingle that is either working in the health care field, servicing the health care field, or studying to enter the health care field.

    Once they've joined, you then need to message me with their URL and phone #, so I can contact them, and verify that you were the source of their referral.

    You are welcome to invite new members personally, or you may use the invite feature at the top right corner of every page. We had found out the the invite feature had not been working properly for a little while, and this has been fixed. Therefore, if you invited people using the invite feature in the past, and people didn't join, please try again, as they may not have received your initial invite. We apologize for any inconvenience, but we use OneSite's software, and didn't realize there was a problem.

    Please invite everyone you can think of this week, and make it a fun and rewarding ending to the June contest.

    Sincerely,

    Ken

    I am going to do the same, but I will be eating while doing my exercise. I plan to take my morning walk and my hot oatmeal along with me in a cup. I am getting good at multi- tasking now.

    Hey I saw your comment from back in Oct, sorry for not responding sooner! :-P It's actually my parents dog, so I don't take her when I travel. I would LOVE to have my own dog, but working 12 hr shifts would make it kinda tough for her to stay at home by herself all that time.
