Thanks for the reply, your design is good. I put the order in already though - just about out of my old ones and I like to place a card in my mailers. Ordered 2,500 so they will go fast and then I'll conciser a redesign. I appreciate your feedback though.

Bill,
I have lots of thoughts for you. First off, it is very helpful to have a clear and memorable business card that is consistent with your business or brand. I don't know your background so can't comment on whether this captures it or not, but here are a few design pointers.
The design needs to be used strategically to draw the eye to what is important. This could be using color, bigger/bolder text for specifics items, placing things in order left-to-right or up-down.
If you are going to use a photo background on the entire thing. The photo should either be darker with white/bright-colored text or a lighter photo with dark text. That way it is easy to read.
Something about your business name and logo are squashed/stretched. Your logo should always look the same. Protect that.
Finally, people generally like some white space on the back of a card so that they can write notes about your interaction. Or you can write a note before handing it out. I think it is more professional to have some content on the back, but to keep it classy with white space left over.

@ Michael Quarles showed some good principles. Though I see you have already ordered them.
I don't think this should be a pattern for your company (as you want a little more pop), but here is mine for reference of a simple design (which matches my brand and style):
