Earlier this year I took a hiatus from working on most web development projects. I did this so I could use the time to focus on my family, relationship, and take a step back from the constant grind. I’ve been in the industry for almost 11 years now and this is my second real break. […]

How My Mom Promoted Philanthropy Throughout My Life
When I was a young kid, I grew up primarily with a single mom. She spent many of her years struggling to get by, just barely paying bills, and sometimes not being able to at all. She’s in a totally different world now but I often look back at my past to see why I’ve […]
Shortcuts, Hotkeys, and Macros, Oh My
I have this affinity to improving my speed in almost everything that I do. Which leads to the subject of me automating processes on a computer. For the last 8 years I’ve been working towards optimizing the time I spend on individual tasks, no matter how small. I originally started by replacing tasks I do […]
Breaking Away From Negative Thoughts In My Head
I’ve finally started to gain momentum. This is the first time I’m posting on the blog just a day after my first post. I’ve always had this understanding that it can take about 3 weeks to build the initial momentum and then another 2 weeks to really get into a consistent pattern. Seeing as my […]
How I Start My Day
I’ve been working hard on building my morning routine back into my life. So far, I’ve been pretty consistent (about 5 out of 7 days a week) and my mornings have started to become much more productive.

Building Momentum Is Difficult
Over the years I’ve had a lot of amazing adventures, but the most fun comes after momentum has been built. It’s such a challenge to build momentum initially, especially since I’ve been away from blogging, fitness, and working for the last 8 months. One technique that has helped me immensely over the last 2 years […]
Taking Steps Towards Consistency
I’m taking a lot of different steps towards building consistency throughout my life again. It’s challenging but the rewards will be worth it. To start, my mornings are back to where I’m having a set routine. I’ve started to wake up between 5:30-6:00am almost every day with my daughter, Emma. I use this time to […]
My Plan to Share My Experiences
I’ve been working from home and online for the past 10, almost 11, years. In that time I’ve had so many experiences that I’d love to share with the world. Ranging from personal achievements to financial goals to building massive communities. I’m challenging myself to spend, at minimum, 5 minutes a day sharing some of […]
It only took me about 17 years.
TL;DR I’m not dying, I had plastic surgery done to my chest to remove swelling. About a month ago I decided to have surgery done on my chest. I have something that many guys silently hide, including myself for many years, and it’s called gynecomastia (hormone imbalance that causes swelling, it was a side effect […]
I got fired 10 years ago.
In 2009 I was working for 2 pizza places as a driver, cook, dishwasher, and waiter, while also working at UPS as a forklift operator. Around the holiday season UPS advised me to leave my other jobs to work for them full-time plus overtime. Thankfully, although I didn’t realize it at the time, that ended […]
