In the Bible, Jesus made a statement that I recently meditated on in a way that might seem surprising to some readers, because it invoved a recent purchase of a new gun. A few months ago, I decided to buy a new handgun for my EDC – or “every day carry”. On one of the […]
Earlier this year, I had a home improvement project I couldn’t wait to start on; assembling an over-the-toilet bathroom organizer. After over a year of living with a cluttered bathroom sink, I decided it was finally time to get a proper organizer to improve the aesthetic and functionality of my master bathroom. It took me […]
Years ago, I remember my Dad giving me a piece of advice that I’ve followed ever since my 20’s. A fan of modern design and good products, Dad would preach gospels about the Herman Miller Aeron Chair. I feel like the “C” ought to be capitalized… Dad would tell me: “If a chair helps you […]
Today marks the 19-year mark of my Dad’s passing. At 51 years-old, he seemed to have died all too soon on account of late-stage colon cancer. I would imagine that most Dad’s want to leave behind a better world and livelihood for their children than the one they lived. In my case, my Dad was […]

On a recent trip to Ohio, I sat down to have a family dinner with my Sister and her family, with Atlas. While we were having dinner, I asked the table: “If you could have anything in the world, what would it be?” My sister kicked things off with her wish of of having a […]
I had an opportunity to meet with two fellow entrepreneurs today for a semi-regular ‘check-in’ and catch-up about what we’ve been working on lately. Both of them are at different stages in their lives, but also in their journey as entrepreneurs; one is older than me and used to a traditional career path, while the […]
This past week, I had a series of calls with an employee who worked for one of my clients. He stepped in for the assist to help with troubleshooting a complex issue and throughout the process of working through the kinks, we got to know each other a bit better and shared a bit about […]
Last weekend, I made a record-setting number of trips to the neighborhood Lowes; visting five times on a single weekend, largely due to the undertaking of staining my backyard fence. After attempting to stain two panels myself, I opted to call in professional help to finish the rest of the job… During my first few […]
