I’m currently living in the city of Atlanta in the Grant Park neighborhood. I’m a little biased, but it’s definitely the best neighborhood in the best city in the world.
Activities I’m Doing Now*
*concept inspired by nownownow.com – you should do it too :)
Spending lots of time with my family. Day to day life is a the predictably unpredictable flurry of parenting, work, and daily living.
I run my own business with help from my wife, and a couple of other amazing teammates around the world.
My business revolves working with a few clients with search marketing & content strategy. However, I spend most of my time as a sort of “digital property developer” – buying, growing & selling small to midsize websites.
I had been really into running (especially trail, half, and full marathons), but ever since kid #2 was born, I’ve been doing more strength training – and even some swimming (at the amazing MLK Recreation Center in the Old Fourth Ward).
I’m registered for the 2023 Atlanta Marathon, and might do a few other events as well.
I’m also spending a bit of time hiking & camping as often as possible – and visiting all the museums & parks in Georgia.

Books I’m Reading Right Now / Have Queued


Life on the Mississippi by Rinker Buck

The Road Less Stupid by Keith Cunningham

Plays Well with Others by Eric Barker

Books I Finished Reading This Year

Empire of Liberty by Gordon Wood is a door-stopper, but still very readable history of the United States from 1789-1815. It’s a comprehensive dive into all the political, cultural, and economic trends that were sweeping through the United States after Independence. Long, but fascinating read. Full book review.

Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle was an ebook that I obtained from Standard Ebooks. It was beautifully formatted and a breeze to read. I remembered why it is the definition of the mystery genre. I definitely plan to read the whole collection this year. Full book review.

Short Works by Epictetus was an ebook that I obtained from Standard Ebooks. I’m glad I started with his short works, because Epictetus is one weird dude with punctuated brilliance. His core idea – that you have total control over yourself and to not be affected by external events is smart, underrated, and useful in moderation. But even among other Stoic writers, he seems to be quite eccentric and extreme. Full book review.
Peace!
