If two months ago, you would have told me that I would have published 30 different writings for the entire world to read, I would have never believed it.

A Job Well Done
Yesterday was probably the most successful day I have ever had in my career. My team accomplished things that made our company more profitable than we have been since I started with the company, almost 10 years ago. It took a ton of long days, tireless effort, and all hands on deck teamwork. I amContinue reading “A Job Well Done”

My kids are already better humans than I was at their age. But that doesn’t stop me from expecting and hoping for more from them.

Overwhelmed
Sometimes I get overwhelmed. Not just stressed. But completely paralyzed by the weight of everything that depends on me or my action. I feel like the worlds worst bottleneck. Countless decisions or tasks that require my immediate attention. Every direction I turn, there is another task to do or another decision to make. Occasionally, thisContinue reading “Overwhelmed”
