More than five years ago I started a marketing company. Today I’m officially leaving it. It took two years to figure out that running a marketing agency wasn’t really my true calling in life and then three years after that to fully come to terms with this truth and act on it. Starting today, I […]
Almost four weeks ago now on October 15th at roughly 11:30pm I found myself laying down in bed, completely exhausted. The reality sunk in slowly that WordCamp Ann Arbor 2016 was over and officially in the past.

I love Christmas. I love getting into the holiday spirit during this festive season. There’s just something awesome about this time of year. I mean people randomly go out of their way to say “merry Christmas” to you all the time with bright smiles on their faces. The rest of the year? Let’s just say […]
