This is one of the hardest gratitude lists I’ve had to write because I just had to leave Nali at the emergency dog hospital for pancreatitis and I am grateful that it’s not worse and I am grateful that she’s gonna be fine and all that but really I am just a damn wreck and…
aka you’re me or my mom, heading from Newport Beach or Austin, respectively, to Columbus, Ohio, in November. Brrrrr. Faux celebs fly with carry-ons only, suckas! Wear on plane: denim athleta jeans, rag & bone tank, patagonia flannel, green plaid sorel boots (EVERYONE NEEDS A PAIR OF THESE THEY ARE BOMB and unbelievably comfortable for…
Are there any foods you just go crazy for, from one specific place? French Onion soup from DIA’s Denver Chop House in Terminal A is mine. Sure, it’s great French Onion soup (seriously, go try it. No one yet has been disappointed by this recommendation). But as food so often carries so much sentimental value,…
What DO I want to do? (launch a company? run a company? live in a cabin in the wilderness? these are the kinds of things that come up when you’re at a b-school offsite and everyone wants to know what you do and what you do on the side and why you’re in b-school to…
Beach flag football season kicked off last weekend, and I’m super happy to be back on the sand. Both of my teams have a ways to go, but we’re gonna be good. NFL football season also kicked off, which makes lazy Sundays (post-vb, naturally) even better than before. I’m in DC this week for EMBA…

There’s a distinctly steamy, balmy, summery quality to summer nights at the lake. As far as I can tell, it doesn’t matter what lake or river, if you’ve got a dock and some water, there will be cicadas chirping quietly, water lapping softly, laughter punctuating the peace in welcome staccatos. Perhaps there’s a breeze that…
I do a pretty good job of being me all the time—there are different me’s in different settings, sure, but I think I do a good job of being me. However, there’s something extra amazing and special about those times or with those friends you can just completely be yourself with—no me’s required, all me’s…
This is one of my favorite views in the whole world. Portland took awhile to grow on me, but this condo and patio did not take any time to grow on me—they are the second home of my second family. I am incredibly grateful for my facebook gf and her parents, who really treat me…
