| Introduction | I am a proud father of 2, husband to a wonderful wife, and a generally "take things as they come" kind of person. My previous job was as an award-winning journalist and newspaper editor/reporter, where I ran a weekly paper covering a small - but growing - community. I currently work in Higher Education Administration, handling "behind-the-scenes" responsibilities for an education program, as well as handling Facility access and occupancy needs for the school in which it is located. My posts are likely to come inconsistently, due mainly to the fact that working in the news industry essentially destroyed my love for writing. When I'm not at work, I'm usually at home with my family, or out and about with my family. I enjoy fine watches, craft beer, and long walks on the beach (which don't occur often, thanks to living in the Midwest). At 32 years of age, I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. Opinions expressed in this blog are mine, unless otherwise stated. Any outside content shared here should not be considered an endorsement of any kind. |
