Spoke with Mike Forte, who was very nice. Maybe meet with him and his partner/2nd banana this week. Sounds like he could be busier but wants to control growth and make sure he has a strong group.

Doesn't seem to want to do one-off field exams, and essentially take a skim. Wants to do more value added work (like collateral analysis, provide investor info for hedge funds) that can generate more income.

Said I would like a permanent job, but realistically will need to do contract work for now.

We'll see what comes out of it.
