Moving In

Comments off

My wife and I just bought our first house, and have spent the last few weeks packing, moving, unpacking, and even cleaning an inordinate amount. I haven’t been posting to this blog, but I will get back to it as soon as we are settled in. We finally got Verizon FIOS installed earlier this week, [...]

I’ve been quiet on my blog for the past few weeks for two critical reasons.

I learned from a good friend of mine from business school the importance of personal branding. He got me into social media a little over a [...]

Comments off

I am finally starting a personal blog. I tried blogging about a year ago about my business school, the University of Connecticut, but I gave up on it fairly quickly. This time, I plan to be more deliberate about it, and keep fresh content rolling. Stay tuned!
