Friends and Colleagues,
Early Adopters Of Legal AI Gaining Competitive Edge In Marketplace
After over eight years at GDC, the firm still refuses to change its name to “Dykstra Dunn & Crutcher”. I cannot suffer this injustice any longer and therefore I am leaving the firm today.
In all seriousness, today is my last day full-time at GDC after eight excellent years in which I have had the pleasure of working alongside so many brilliant individuals. Thanks to all for the many great memories.
Going forward I will be spending more time leading documentary film crews as well as private clients on expeditions to some of the world’s most fascinating destinations as I have done in the past.
If you have ever dreamed of experiences like swimming alongside the largest animal to ever inhabit the planet, the blue whale, tracking lions on foot like National Geographic, or being part of a world-first expedition to photograph killer whales underwater in Iceland, please visit my website: www.PictureAdventure.com and “like” the Picture Adventure Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/PictureAdventureExpeditions).
