Wales, UK

Epic visit to Wales for a speaking engagement and got to see some bucket list sites, as well as a really good friend that I had not seen in over 30 years.

Fell in love with this city and country after a recent trip with Lisa.

San Diego Climb Out

Captured this video while on the climb out from San Diego. Zoomed into capture my building.

Lisa's 60th

Hosted a landmark birthday for Lisa at La Quinta Country Club, which included our two girls, four of her siblings and nearly 70 other friends. Epic evening to celebrate an epic woman.

My Hometown

Got a chance to bet back to my hometown — Galesburg, Illinois — to visit my dad. Some pics of my hometown shopping mall, closed down a couple of decades ago and sits in disrepair. My dad used to work at Sears in this mall. It was a centerpiece of community in a small, central Illinois town.

Hey Nash!

Quick trip down to Nashville to see Makayla.

Six Day Solo Desert Moto Trip

Awesome six day solo trip from leaving San Diego to Flagstaff (leg one), Flagstaff to Monument Valley (leg two), Monument Valley to Santa Fe (leg three), Santa Fe/Taos to Durango (leg four), Durango to St. George (leg five), and St. George to San Diego (leg six). Amazing sites along the way.

Be Direct

Never put something sensitive that is private in writing. Imagine it being the front page of the paper tomorrow.  Speak directly to the person.

The Journey Matters

The journey matters. Immensely. In fact, it is all that matters. There is no destination. Just a journey.  With different paths. We can fool ourselves into believing that we have some great final place, some arrival point in which everything will be perfect.  The truth is that all we have is this moment.  Life is really about living every moment as best as possible, trying to positively impact those around us.
