Nesting

As I've gotten older, I've realized how important my physical space is to my happiness, productivity, and... sanity. As we prepare for the birth of our second child, I'm embracing the "nesting" instinct in a new way.

New Year's Ease

I began writing this essay instinctively thinking I failed all of my 2023 goals. Turns out I should give myself a little grace. Looking back at my goals for the year, I did shockingly well. I was just missing the ease.

Frozen Dream

When I started writing these, I still had every intention of starting a company of my own. Now I’m considering two unexpected, incredible roles (and also looking at other companies I admire). This wasn’t the plan, but… it feels good?

Life is Life-y

November was quite the month. We had adventure, death, illness, new opportunities, rescues, failures, memorials, construction, setbacks, holidays, laughter, games, generosity, anniversaries, surgeries, and recoveries.

Every Acorn is a Paw at the Door

On Sunday night at 8:55pm, our family lost our best friend. Our protector. Our adventure buddy. Our toddler-cleaner-upper. Our squirrel chaser.

Introducing the Squiggle

Each week in this email I'll have a short note about what's happening in my life, work, and/or entrepreneurial journey, along with a curated selection at the bottom of what's captured my attention, ears, tastebuds, or wallet this week.

Q3 2023 Personal Update

My first quarterly update, inspired by my friend Zvi Band. Sharing a more detailed life update than what I share on social media in hopes of deeper connection.
