Jordan Davis gig 🎸

As a relative newcomer, Jordan Davis packed a huge punch into his new headlining tour. Orlando was opening night and I was stoked to have an free evening to unwind. And ohhhhh how I have missed live music, especially in an intimate setting such as the House of Blues. Being sold out at 2k guests,Continue reading “Jordan Davis gig 🎸”

Compilation adventure trips early 2000s

Facebook yearly memories popping up in my feed are always a welcome reminder of the crazy amazing places that I’ve been blessed to visit. But what about those places lost in time prior to 2009 and the digital age? I have boxes of printed photos that are still waiting to be sliced and diced intoContinue reading “Compilation adventure trips early 2000s”

A day in the life of an Executive Director

A normal day isn’t even in our vocabulary. Be prepared to wear many hats and ready for anything. I typically would start my day with a complete walk through, saying hello to our regular members, checking in with all the staff and scanning for any potential safety issues or hazards. Mornings are jam packed withContinue reading “A day in the life of an Executive Director”

Toadstools 🥾

With the trailhead immediately off the highway, I didn’t have high expectations for my first hike of the day. However, I met only one other soul in the parking lot and he was on a return trip, so that typically is a good sign. I snaked along a sandy wash for just under a mileContinue reading “Toadstools 🥾”

Annual Girls Ski Trip 🎿

For 5+ years in the early 2000s, we made our annual girls’ ski trip a priority and typically visited both Vail and Breckinridge. Ski towns are so full of life, begging you to let loose. I’ll never forget the first time riding up a Colorado gondola feeling like it would never end and getting nervousContinue reading “Annual Girls Ski Trip 🎿”

Creating that intangible legacy for your life that transcends self is one of the highest callings we can set out to attain. Innovation. Resilience. Joy. Grit. Self determination. Triumph. Transformation. Did you walkContinue reading “What is a legacy”

Haiti 2011

I had a transformative experience visiting Haiti a year after the devastating earthquake ravaged the island. After hosting the Haiti women’s national soccer team at Disney Sports through the massive efforts of the Heaberlin family, we formed a beautiful bond with these players over a week of competitive games, learning Haitian sayings, seeing the themeContinue reading “Haiti 2011”

The Road to Hana – Maui, HI

I got an extra early start, with an uncomfortably early 5am wake up call. BUT that helped me reach the east coast of the island of Maui with 10 mins to spare before the sun’s rays broke over the ocean waves on the horizon. That solitary moment will be etched in my brain forever. RightContinue reading “The Road to Hana – Maui, HI”
