What I'm doing now...

If I've said NO to you recently it is because I'm focused on the things below. Nothing personal, I just want to continue to get stuff done. Live like no other, so you can someday live like no other.

Family

• Evenings/weekends are for spending time with my wife and four girls... if I don't seem available assume I'm busy doing something fun with them!

Health

• Current Weight | Dadbod -- Working to be an active dad for my gaggle of girls. Currently 240lbs 222lbs 232lbs (ugh... life has been rough as of late). I'd like to get down to 215, because #dadbod.


• Apps | Health & Wellness -- Fitbod, Strava, Final Surge and Headspace app -- for gym workouts, running/swimming/cycling tracking, triathlon coaching plan, and meditation respectively.


• Tri-OKC | Triathlons -- I've gotten back into biking, running, and swimming, with three races complete in 2022. Looking to begin ramping up training for 2023 season. 2022 Race Results -- October 2nd - Chisholm Trail, Sprint Triathlon (results) // October 8th -- Du Kona Sprint Triathlon in Guthrie, OK (results) // November 6th - RiverSport Challenge, Duathlon (results).

Work

• MidFirst Bank | FVP, Digital Banking -- I lead Agile Product teams who research, design, build, test, and release mobile app and web experiences.


• Product Management | The 4 roles of Product -- I'm focused on having the mindset of a business owner, the mantra of a vision holder, the eyes of a designer, and the organization of a team coordinator.


• Formerly, Sonic Drive-In | Director of Product -- I led the omni-channel Order Ahead experience on POPS, Web, and Mobile for Sonic Drive-In, culminating in a purchase of our brand by Inspire Brands in 2019.

Growth

• Reading List -- I'm a reader. I highlight, underline, and scribble in the margins. I buy physical books and read them. I like the feel of paper and the progress indicator of a bookmark marking my journey.

Side Projects

These projects have been delegated to the margins... slow progress, moving forward inch-by-inch, at a snails pace.

I ❤️ Coffee & Tea

Begin the work

• Begin the work | Podcast -- Eight interviews of artists, creatives, entrepreneurs, and politicians on how they began their current work. Podcasts are hard work... pausing these for now.
