Patrick and Kristen chose Cybertary because after 20 years of living in the fast paced corporate world it was time for them to make a dramatic lifestyle change.  Both Patrick and Kristen have been very successful professionally; however, they felt that their lives have been too dictated by the schedule demands and job uncertainty present in corporate careers.  In spring 2009 Patrick, like many others, was laid-off.  While also conducting a traditional job search, he convinced Kristen to consider the possibility of owning a business, something Patrick had long desired.  Having two young sons and many outside interests compelled them to consider entering the world of Virtual Assisting.  As Cybertary franchise owners, Patrick and Kristen can build on their extensive professional experience without sacrificing the other important aspects of their lives.  They are excited by the new opportunity and look forward to the challenges it will bring.
