Default New job

Last April, I embarked on a year-long sabbatical designed to 1) take a breather from 25 years of hard traveling but wonderful experiences at Blistex 2) connect more deeply with family 3) assemble a stable of racing prospects and 4) find another business to build.

So at the 11-month mark, I am very happy to report that I have accepted an offer from Team Valor (one of the world's top international horse racing syndicates) to develop their international customer base in Dubai, Europe, Australia (and elsewhere). Pretty much qualifies as a dream job for me. I am very excited to get started. Feeling fresh and ready.

I have to thank my family and friends for their support during my little "walkabout". I took a wicked left turn there. But it has resulted in the opportunity of a lifetime. I plan to make the most of it.

Cheers,

Otis

Thanks for your well wishes folks!

Racing opportunities are expanding globally and Barry Irwin has always enjoyed racing internationally more than domestically. Thus, he has decided to broaden Team Valor's scope to an unprecedented level and open up to some foreign partners, while racing more horses in Europe and elsewhere.

I am very excited to help Team Valor achieve this goal.

AlabamaStakes: sorry about the allergy. You must have tried our Botox Balm.

Cheers,

Otis
