I’m coming up on 50. I’ve got a good fifty years having served my community in Law Enforcement for over 22 years, coached youth soccer, and been an active member of my church community. And I don’t plan to stop now.
My goal as a blogger is to write articles that share what I’ve learned over the years. To share my experiences and philosophy with those younger than myself, approaching their 50’s as well, or those that are already over 50.
I haven’t figured everything out. I realize there are a great many accomplishments I’ve failed to achieve or relationships that I failed to nurture. But I realize that it isn’t too late for me to still achieve my goals and serve my community. Perhaps together, we can help each other.
So enjoy my blog. Topics will range from business email to youth sports coaching. I hope you find something of use here.

It isn’t quite the same thing as burning them because you didn’t necessarily do something intentionally or malicious. However, cleaning them up and making them passable again may take some time. We’ve […] - I Recovered an Email When My Brain Told Me What It Said
I was checking my email on my iPhone this morning when I deleted something. A second later, the contents of the email clicked in my brain, and I immediately undeleted it. Does this often happen to you? You are cleaning out your email, and a second after you delete something, the words click with you? It happens to me all of the time. This email was a Groupon email, and what […]
