Happy Birthday Will!
Dear William, As you turn two years old today, you should be proud of everything you’ve accomplished so far. Similar to my post for you a year ago, I’ve put together a list of some of my favorites: a total of 5 trips ‘back east’, Cape Cod was a regular stop for you on 4 … Read more
A New Chapter
After nearly five and a half years at the University of San Diego, I’ve decided to leave for a new job with Vistage International. This move for me is bittersweet, since I have enjoyed my time at USD and I’ve built so many great friendships. My new role will be as a marketing manager for … Read more
My Blog: A Year in Review
Last week marked my 1-year anniversary of starting my own personal blog. Since I’ve actually stuck with it and kept somewhat of a regular schedule, I now have a lot to look back on. Thanks to all of you who have read, commented, and linked to my blog this year. When I started my new … Read more
Fourth of July Road Trip: San Francisco and Monterey
My family and I traveled to San Francisco and Monterey Bay for the Fourth of July weekend this year. You might call us crazy to attempt a 1,200-mile road trip with a 15-month-old over one of the biggest holiday weekends of the year – and you’d probably be right. We did, however, have an awesome … Read more

Where I’m From
So from time to time, I figure I’ll throw in a blog post about what I’m up to in my off-time (not that I get too much of it). Recently, I traveled with my wife and son back to my hometown to visit my parents, who still live in the house where I grew up. … Read more

Traveling with the Most Interesting Professor in the World
In a little more than six weeks from now, I’ll be departing for Buenos Aires with a study abroad group from the University of San Diego’s Master of Science in Global Leadership program. The group will be taking a global business strategy course with a professor I’ve always enjoyed – Dr. Jaime Alonzo Gomez. … Read more
The Value of Travel
I’ve been a fan of traveling ever since I can remember. When I was young, my family would load up in the big red Suburban at least once or twice a year and hit the great American highways to another state – many times that meant several states. Starting in Crandall, Texas, we were able … Read more
Hello world!
Most bloggers choose to change the “Hello world!” title of their first post on WordPress. I’m choosing to leave mine as is. Not because this is my first blog post, but because of recent life events that make this title more appropriate. It’s only fitting that I should make my new post about the birth … Read more
