Reflection at Thirty-Nine
I guess I’m feeling reflective. Thirty-nine years into this life has a way of making a person introspective. Maybe it’s the age. Maybe it’s the tequila. Maybe it’s just another middle-aged cliché playing itself out. Whatever it is, here I am, staring at a blank page, trying to decide what deserves to be written. The…
Comfortable In My Own Skin
There are only a handful of moments in life when I feel completely comfortable in my own skin. Let’s be honest, most days are routine. The alarm goes off. I get ready for work. Cook breakfast. Take the kids to school. I answer emails. I go to meetings. I hit the gym. I pick up…
Love (What is it?)
What is love?I don’t even know anymore.What is it to be chosen?I haven’t a single clue.What is it to have someone want to be with you?Honestly, no idea.I think I want love.But do I even know what that is?I don’t even know what love is anymore.Maybe, I’m just meant to be alone.I probably am.That’s okay.…
My 2026 Tech Stack
Every year I re-evaluate my tech stack. Tools come and go. Habits shift. Work evolves. Life gets messy. And the apps that used to feel essential… don’t. This is the 2026 lineup that actually earns its keep. The stuff that helps me with work, keeps me sharp, keeps me sane, and keeps life moving without…
Shed Your Skin (Enter 2026 Right)
I’m writing this more as a reminder to myself. If it helps someone else, even better. I’m not a guru. I’m not a motivational speaker. I’m definitely not Tony Robbins. This is just a no-bullshit note to break bad patterns and level up in 2026. Let’s not roll into a new year carrying the same…
My Favorite Christmas Movies (2025 Edition)
Tis the season. If you’re looking for something to watch this holiday season, here’s a list of my favorite Christmas movies. 1. National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation This is the baseline. If this movie isn’t on at least once in December, something’s off. Every scene is a quote. Every character is unhinged. It’s chaos, family, and…
My 2025 Reading List: Business, Bikes, and Better Questions
I didn’t set out to build a “reading challenge” this year. No quotas. No performative book stacks. Just books that showed up at the right time and stuck long enough to leave a mark. What came out of 2025 was a mix of business fundamentals, personal operating systems, creative rebellion, and a steady undercurrent of…
Yapping since the day I could yap
In movies, you always see the guy. You know who I mean. The strong, silent type. Few words spoken, but when he does speak, it matters. The iconic badass. That ain’t me, babe. Oh no no, that ain’t me. I’m a yapper. A raconteur. A conversationalist. I’ve been yapping since the day I could yap.…
Riding through a dust devil
This week’s ride was a trip. Fourth gear, desert wide open, wind starting to howl. Passing through an empty patch of desert – no plants, no hills, no cover. Just me, the bike, and the horizon. Then boom! A blast of wind. And up ahead, I see it forming. A dust devil. Small at first.…
Wilt or Blossom
I was reading poetry last week when I stumbled across this idea: Wilt or Blossom. It stuck with me. Think of your soul like a flower. Flowers need to be fed to grow – sunlight, water, good soil. Without those things, there’s no chance of survival. And flowers rarely get perfect conditions. The weather gets…
RIP to a Legend
I’d be remiss not to say something. This week, we lost a legend. Robert Redford. An icon who gave us decades of unforgettable film and helped champion the next generation of storytellers. Actor, director, founder of Sundance – he shaped indie cinema as much as Hollywood itself. Thanks for the art, the stories, and the…
Mental Health Benefits of Riding A Motorcycle
People ask me all the time if I worry about my health when I’m on the bike. Of course I do. But the pros outweigh the cons by a mile. Most folks dismiss motorcycling as reckless or indulgent. Truth is, the things that pull us in, strip away the noise, and push us to focus.…
What is the best racing movie?
Finally got around to watching F1 with Brad Pitt this week. Cinematic masterpiece? Not even close. But damn, was it fun. Sometimes movies forget they’re allowed to just be fun. This one nailed it. Which brings me to the question: what’s the best racing movie? Here’s my Final Four: F1, Rush, Ford v Ferrari, Days…
The Damn Raiders
It’s a perfect night in Las Vegas. Warm breeze, clear sky. Monday Night Football. Raiders vs. Chargers. First home game of the season for the silver and black. And yes, I had tickets. Friends and family in tow, ready to cheer for the underdogs. Chargers might be stacked, but this year? Our year. New coach.…
Today’s Ride
There’s nothing like riding your motorcycle at 65mph on a two lane highway through the barren desert, not another car in sight, when the weather is 77 degrees. It’s the kind of ride that makes you forget the rest of the world exists and you’re just in the moment. In the now.
