A little about this space - this is my personal website. It is a place for me to share my thoughts, ideas, and projects. I am a software guy and I have been in the software industry for over 20 years. I have worked in various roles including software engineer, software development manager, and director of ecommerce.
Truth be told, I was reluctant to step out of software development and into eCommerce, but it turned out to be a bit of serendipity.
My personal framework for a meaningful life:
- Take care of yourself.
- Take care of your loved ones.
- Take care of your community.
- Take care of the world.
They are aspirations really. I was laying in bed one night, thinking about two people who died way too soon, but made a real difference when they were here. From their funerals I was able to see how much impact they made on the world. And I felt an epiphany. To have a meaningful life, you need to take care of yourself, your loved ones, your community, and the world.
I think that is a good framework for a meaningful life. It is not easy, but it is simple.
I am a husband (twice over), and a father..
