35,000 feet above ground
It’s amazing how much thinking you can do when you’re flying above the clouds. I have been traveling now a couple of times a month from Texas to Michigan since March for my role with a new organization and it has truly been a learning experience. When I was little I used to travel by plane a few times a year, but I would say that the last two decades prior to this new role I have maybe gotten on an airplane 3 times. It is humbling to think about what human ingenuity and genius have been able to accomplish in such little time. I have been given a once…

A Most Thoughtful Gift
On my 39th birthday I received what is to date the most thoughtful gift I have gotten from any one of my siblings. My sister gave me a necklace. Not just any necklace, but a necklace that for me is the meaning behind what I have attempted to do my entire life…. LEAD. It is a necklace of meaning beyond words. “The necklace made me think of you, ” she said, “I’ve always looked at you as the leader of our family and the one we want to follow.” Life will at times throw you a curve ball, and it will even appear to be insurmountable. Believe in yourself, keep…

Leather unlike any other
Over 10 years ago, my buddy Jordan gifted me a wallet. He told me that I would love it, and that it would last forever. I had been buying Fossil wallets since I was in high school and replaced them practically every year. Jordan told me that I would never buy another wallet again… but I did. The catch is that I bought another wallet by the same leather goods company because I loved the new design, not because I needed one. I also happened to own a briefcase, portfolio and various other goods from the same company. That company is Saddleback Leather from right here in the state of…

2022 Is the start of something new
Last year was a whirlwind of change for my family and I. Sold our home, and were blessed with a third miracle to humble us and make us the parents of 3 beautiful children. Lucy was born on 8/20 and sparked a whole world of emotions. I realized for the third time in my life what an amazing thing it is to have babies in your home. The diapers, late nights, and having to learn zone defense are something I am soaking in every step of the way. The process of pregnancy and delivering a child into the world is something that I cannot even begin to imagine, I cannot…

Modern Pergola Build
Recently I realized that I do a lot of home improvement projects around the house and I decided that I would share and maybe help someone avoid the pitfalls we all go through and maybe get some good advice along the way. I spent about 2 weeks building the initial structure to include someone coming in to pour a cement slab. I used 6x6x16’and 2x4x16′ Douglas Fir rough cut beams. I found this company online TojaGrid, and loved their product! It shipped quickly and delivered the quality I expected. The only thing I will say is that I did not ensure that the wood I got was finished, so I…

The morning I was inspired
I was driving the kids to school as I do every morning, but something was different about this day. The sun pierced through the clouds in a way that inspired me to connect with people in a completely different way than I’m used to. With all the turmoil in the world, I want to share a little positivity and share with the world my experience… hoping to learn from the world along the way.
