There are probably a thousand choices that we make on a daily basis. Some are easy decisions like what route to take to work. Other decisions are more difficult, like what we are going to wear to work when all the laundry is dirty. Every now and then there is a decision that weighs on [...]

The ‘Pause’ Button

This past week I was sick again. It was a slow moving head cold that took almost two full weeks to make it through my system. I am typically a pretty healthy individual so to be fighting my second cold in less than a month was beyond frustrating. Being sick to me is a bit like [...]

This past weekend, my wife and I went up to the mountains outside of San Diego to spend some time with friends away from the city. We pulled up to our cabin at the summit of Mount Laguna and unloaded our food, bikes, and gear into the wood-paneled living room. Our bedroom was barely big [...]

A good friend of mine and his fiancé called me a month ago and asked me if I would be willing to officiate their wedding ceremony. This is only the second request I have had to do a wedding, but I was honored they would ask me to be a part of such a huge [...]
Raging Waters

It rained here in San Diego last week. I’m not talking about the type of rain that comes down like broken showerhead spittle. I’m taking about rain like the sky in heaven unscrewed a fire hydrant and pointed it down in the direction of Southern California. To put it in perspective, in three days, San [...]
My Own Understanding

Dear Lord,Why do some days seem so full of joy and optimism, and other days feel so down and gloomy? It’s been one of those weeks where the heights of victory have crashed to the lows of defeat. I feel like I just caught the perfect wave only to be crushed in the whitewater gasping [...]
Relevancy in Action

“We don’t want to we-we on our clients.” This is a great statement of marketing advice presented by my good friend and interview coach during preparations for a project interview we had last week. While I am sure the visual here is not the best for those literal thinkers out there, the statement accurately describes [...]
The Silence of Midnight

Moonlight danced across the white ground illuminating a field of glittery brilliance. Up ahead of me the two shadows representing my wife and 6-year-old niece walked towards the end of the mountain road. Vapor arising from my own breath was proof that I was alive to witness the turn of yet another decade. Making my [...]

“I wish I had a house to call my own. I’d settle for one of those run down shacks off of Bacon Avenue. Just something with a roof over my head to keep away the rain. A space heater would be nice, and perhaps a couch and TV to pass the time. It gets old [...]
Missing the Rust

Six months ago I went to go work for a small local firm in San Diego. I had just spent over six years working as a regional manager for a national architecture firm, and I had reached the end of my rope. The travel, the politics, and the pressure were beginning to wear me out, [...]
