OPINION
MATTINGLY-MAY, Judge.
Predrag Vukovich appeals the grant of a preliminary injunction prohibiting him from competing against International Magnaproducts, Inc. ("IMI") and its owner Donald Coleman pursuant to a covenant not to compete Vukovich and IMI had executed some two years previously. Vu-kovich asserts the injunction was improperly granted for a number of reasons, of which we find one dispositive: the covenant enforced by the injunction is unreasonable in the absence of a geographic limitation. We reverse and remand.
FACTS
Vukovich was employed by IMI from 1996 until the end of 2001.…
