As for myself (John), this has been an amazing journey that began over eight years ago. What started as a passion project evolved into a business that allowed me to quit my job, build a team, and focus entirely on the site. I love what we have been able to do and how it’s advanced our industry.
That said, this is not a goodbye message. I am excited to work alongside Darien and the team to continue crushing it. Together we will be able to do more and better things than ever before.
The change in my role has nothing to do with any concerns about MorphMarket or the industry. This was a personal decision that was right for my family and me. As some of you know, I have never been the best at work/life balance. I look forward to focusing more on my health and family. Kora and I have three amazing kids and are about to complete the adoption of a little girl. The process was frozen three years ago at the start of the pandemic. In addition, I am excited to build the collection of reptiles that I’ve always dreamed about, and you can count on me using MorphMarket to do that!
