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

- Tri-OKC | Triathlons -- With three races complete in 2022, I've added four more for 2023. Looking forward to getting back into the training. Two of the races are off-road triathlons, which I'm really excited about.
Work
- MidFirst Bank | FVP, Digital Banking -- I lead Agile Product teams who research, design, build, test, and release mobile app and web experiences.

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.
