Now

As inspired by Derek Sivers at https://sive.rs/now, this page is what is going on in my life right now. Updated April 4, 2024.

Books

I am currently reading "The Coaching Habit - Say less, ask more & change the way you lead forever" by Michael Bungay Stanier.

I have been challenged by God to have more of a coaching style of leadership with my kids. To command them less and ask questions more so they are the ones generating the idea instead of me. I realize this is God's chosen style of leadership, so it might as well be mine too.

Life

As of October 2023, I am on an 'unplanned sabbatical', after a sudden reorganization at Arctic Wolf, the place I had been working as a Sales Engineer for one year.

I have always been interested in small business ownership, so I spent a couple of months working with a business broker looking at some options of companies to buy. Ultimately I passed on all of the ones I saw, even though one was on a fire sale, because none of them were the right fit for my desired work-life balance.

I don't buy the idea that we all need to hustle 12 hours per day. I have 3 kids - 7, 5, and almost 3. I want to spend as much time with them as possible. I cherish nightly board game; piano practice; reading books; and bedtime routines. This also rules out jobs where I need to travel.

So I'm focusing on self improvement and working on starting my own coaching / training business. I have made many discoveries about myself in the last couple of months. Many of which will eventually become articles here.

Also, I love meeting new people. So please reach out! The easiest way to do that is to subscribe to my newsletter below. I will personally email every person who does and we can start a conversation that way.
