I love Virginia.  As a small business owner, I see a gap between businesses and the community.  We need a better way of communicating and sharing resources.  The New Virginia Economy is a start in the right direction.  

We’ll introduce you to businesses and give you access to information that can help expand your career possibilities and your earning potential.  

Season 2 of the New Virginia Economy with Mike Hamlar starts August 7, 2017 at 6:27 and 6:59 pm on WSLS 10. We look forward to another great season talking about workforce development, economic impact and job creation in the Commonwealth of Virginia. #newvirginiaeconomy

Michal and Micah had a ball at the #explorepark @explorerecreation #holidayvillage talking to Santa, making crafts, buying gifts for others and looking at the Christmas lights. If you haven’t been I recommend taking a trip anytime from 6 pm to 10pm on the days they are open. They have live entertainment, miniature golf food, carriage rides and more!
‪Richmond for the day with my former teammate/roommate from @wakefootball RD Montgomery at the Governors mansion with @FirstLadyVA Pam Northam. @governorralphnortham Thank you for the invite #godeacs @wfuniversity @demondeacons
Michal and Micah are at their first school dance tonight at #MtPleasant�Elementary� The theme is back to the 80s! They grow up so fast! We didn’t have night dances when I was in school, especially elementary school! Thank you to the teachers for putting this together they are having a great time. #family #dance #80s #schooldance
Help me wish Happy Birthday to my “mini me” Michal AnneMarie. She is so grown! Just a few memories from this year. One of my favorites is her checking herself in at the airport. So independent. Katina and I are very proud of her and look forward to her performance in the Nutcracker next month! Happy Birthday baby! #happybirthday #hbd #nutcracker
