I sometimes share my thoughts, but mostly I don’t.

April 8th

A day that defines my family more than any other My father has three important women in his life, and since it's my father we're talking about, they have the same importance to me. His mother, his first wife, and his current wife. My grandmother, my mom, and my...

Taking A Moment to Pause

I've done a terrible job updating my personal blog these past two years. Mostly because I've been working harder than I ever have to build something truly meaningful. It's been the most challenging endeavor, yet most rewarding experience at the same time. Late nights,...
