he face of technology in Northern Arizona is constantly evolving. Each year, we see new businesses and opportunities that were once only available in larger cities moving into the region. This is thanks in part to a diverse, growing group of talented remote workers who are changing the way the world thinks about media and technology. The option of working remotely for larger companies has become more and more common. And, with that option available, more tech professionals are choosing to live and work in smaller
communities. What may be surprising is just how diverse the kinds of tech sector jobs these professionals are doing. For software programmer Corey McCoy and animator/designer Aaron Lambert, the option to work remotely created the opportunity to choose life away from the big city. Both wanted to continue working in their high-paying jobs, but still be able to live in a community that offered the lifestyle they desired. It turned out that Northern Arizona fit the bill.
