Niners Nation News: Movin' On Up

PrintI tweeted about this earlier today, but wanted to post something here at Niners Nation for the folks that don't use Twitter. Starting March 1 I will be joining SB Nation in a full time role related to NFL content. I am not leaving Niners Nation, but rather am adding some additional responsibilities.
Previously I had always planned on pursuing some kind of legal career following law school. That is still always a possibility down the road, but for now I get to continue doing what I've come to love more than most anything. Over the last six months I've been providing some content over at SB Nation NFL. I'll continue doing that to some extent, but this new role involves more than just writing. It will hopefully help better unite the great NFL content we have all across SB Nation at the main dot com, the regional sites and the team blogs.
As I said above, I will continue busting my butt providing you with quality 49ers content. The most significant change in all this is that I am actually going to be leaving San Francisco. After nine years here, in March I will be relocating to the main SB Nation office in Washington, DC. The two big adjustments will be figuring out a way around all the Redskins coverage out there, and of course watching sports three hours ahead. I've always been a huge fan of viewing sports in the pacific time zone so I have to get back to the eastern time zone for viewing. I went to college in Washington, DC so I've done it before, but it'll take some getting used to.

Wow.. Congrats..
I find all of this rather interesting. Did this start out as a hobby or just a thing to do for most of you? I’ve seen Florida Danny move onto a paid writer and now you.. Pretty cool!!

hobby
I started it for fun around the same time I applied to law school. It’s built up since then. I’ve been looking at full time opportunities since last summer.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say yes
Non-Profit attorney’s get about 20k a year starting and large firms pay about 180k a year starting.
pay comparable?
To working as an attorney?

yeah, I meant as an attorney.
Just curious, of course, totally feel free not to answer, of course. I guess I’m hoping that it is so that I can live vicariously through you!
attorneys
Attorneys make a broad range of salaries. I make more than some, less than a lot of other attorneys. As an attorney in what I wanted to do (labor law) it kind of depends on the side you’re working on and whatnot.

Best of luck!
Just don’t be tempted by the dark side and change your shade of red.
Saw the tweets earlier, congrats man!
There are a few of us 9er faithful that will certainly welcome you with open arms…for whatever that’s worth.
As for navigating through Redskins coverage, it is often one of my top resources of humor throughout a given season. Now with the Caps and Nats both on the rise with youthful talent, the hilarious entertainment only comes from the Redskins and Wizards these days…

Hah, just kidding. Way to go, Fooch. You deserve it. One of our own, moving up. Makes me proud! But you know, we will expecting Niners news on the front page every day, right?
Congratulations Fooch
I spend a few days in Washington every year on a work trip. I’ll let you know next time I’m over (normally November). Maybe I’ll finally get a chance to buy you that beer that I promised to buy you when you were in London
Yay! Congrats!
And good luck.
And also, thanks for working so hard in running NN, wouldn’t be the same without you. (Please stay!)
