What does winning look like?
It’s when your nine-year-old son would rather take a walk with you than watch a comedy.
He’s excited to build a business together.
He soaks up what I teach him like a sponge.

When I was a kid, I loved video games.
I can still remember the day my dad brought home the Atari 2600!
These days I don’t game much.
Self-care, family, and career come first.

I want to bond with my kids over games!

She’s a character in a series I’m writing.
Prisma is a leader in the Netherworld Resistance, a hacker and stealth operative who thrives on chaos and destruction.

This is Prisma.
She’s the brains and the chaos
behind Cyladin’s Netherworld resistance.
She pushes him to take decisive action that’s often beyond where his moral compass allows.
These are some of my best visuals of her.
And I’ve got a video that will follow this soon!

The 80s were special!
We were free-range kids.
We played outside until the street lights came on. Everyone’s front door was open.
And yeah, we learned lessons by getting hurt!

Resilience is not just for times of struggle.
Comfort presents as much risk to your success.
Rest too much and you risk your growth!
Take a moment to enjoy the moment.
Then, keep going!
