Right now, I spend my working hours running a marketing team that publishes a magazine, hosts a conference for K-12 leaders around the country, and supports the rapid growth of an EdTech company at apptegy. Much of my day is spent thinking about how to lead myself, my team, and how organizational culture impacts everything from my own work to the school leaders' work who we support.

In 2025, I'm leaning into connection with self, my work, and with others. I love to work, yet I don't always pause to enjoy the work done. My work and my team's work has had incredible outcomes and yet I often only see what's remaining to be done.

In 2024, I priortized the habits, values, and relationships that outlast deadlines, projects, and work. I've re-discovered mountain biking after a 20 year hiatus, found my running legs again, and learned to chill out in a conversation and simply enjoy the company of others.

In 2023, I focused my personal life on confronting bad habits, character flaws, and "fatal flaws". There's an ongoing reminder on my calendar that pops up every few weeks with this quote, "A fear that the weaknesses that have dogged you are not just temporary challenges to cope with, but a permanent part of who you are."

The most important part of my life are my kids. Time reading, "talking about life", playing Uno, teaching them to love reading, and teaching them how to be self-aware are the highlight of every day. As much as I love working and driving towards a goal, I want to use the energy and momentum I build at work to pour into my kids.

This is a Now page. Now pages are inspired by Derek Sivers. It is similar to an about page, but it tells you what I am doing now (how I am spending my time and what I am focused on)— not just what I have done in the past. This entire site is inspired with that in mind.
