Welcome!

This my first venture into blogging. It's the place where I'll share my personal take on life - experiences, philosophies, commentary - both fun and serious.

I hope you enjoy your time here and are patient as I get the hang of things.

Taking the plunge...

For a number of years, I've struggled with the notion of publicly sharing my thoughts.

Other than an occasional letter to the editor, Toastmasters speeches, and sometimes chiming into a tough conversation when I absolutely felt compelled to do so, I've pretty much sat on the sidelines.


However, with the birth of my son almost 2 years ago, I found myself taking stock of my life again, evaluating who I am and how I wanted the second half of my life to go, for myself, as a husband, and as a new father.

I can no longer sit and ignore that inner voice (though work and adjusting to having a family have been their own time barriers to getting started). I have a voice and I've learned that I do have thoughts and insights that can make a difference for others and help shape this world. 


So here I go... Welcome to my journey - I hope you find it interesting!
