What I Do
Solve Problems
Nothing catches my attention like hard problems to solve. That’s probably why I do what I do!
Keep Current w/ Industry
I’ve been an avid blog readers for many years covering an array of topics including: Development and Technology, Church Marketing, Mindset Coaching, and Life Hacks and much more.
Experiment With Things.
That’s mostly the reason I redesigned this site in Elementor. I just wanted to run it through it’s paces to see how it works.
Maui Sunrise at Haleakala Crater Summit
Even though I like my photos, these do not even come close to doing justice to this experience. If you ever have the opportunity to go, don’t scoff at the notion of waking up at 3am to make the drive. Temperatures at the summit are about 30 degrees cooler than at the surface which made…
On the Road to Hana: Wai‘anapanapa State Park and Black Sand Beach
We were excited about our last stop before making it to Hana because we really wanted to see the black sand beach. We wish we had brought swimwear, but we were so focused on the drive that we didn’t think about bringing anything along with us to enjoy the stops. Regardless I enjoyed walking around,…
On the Road to Hana: Kahanu Garden and Pi`ilanihale
After a few more stops along the roadside, we decided to spend a little time at the Kahanu Gardens. It was a good decision and worth the per person fee. Among the gardens, which showcase plants with significant roles in past and present of the islands, sits a huge platform made of volcanic rock that…
Sixty-Four Miles + Flat Tire – No Pain, No Gain
After a string of 20-35 miles rides over a few weeks, I was really long overdue for a high-mileage ride. After all, I’m training for the MS150 and I’ll log about 80-miles on back-to-back days. So, I combined one of my previous routes through Southeast Austin and Creedmoor with the route that I took to…
First Organized Ride: Bike for Little Heroes
While making plans to attend a wedding in Houston, I saw a charity ride on the outskirts of town on the next day. So, I did what any budding cyclist would do — took my bike and entered. This was my first organized ride and I did the 54-mile route. I did a 50 mile…
First Half-Century Ride: Austin to San Marcos and Back
One of the big hurdles for a new cyclist is making their first 50+ mile ride. I’m training for the MS150, a two-day 150+ mile ride from Houston to Austin in April 2014. So obviously, I had to get a 50+ miler under my belt soon! I had decided to do the 54-mile route at…
Does the Four Hour Body Slow Carb diet work? I lost 65lbs in 7 months
I lost 65lbs from August to the end of February doing the Slow Carb diet from the Four Hour Body. Even lost weight during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas despite eating anything I wanted on those two days. Previously, I was successful with Aktins, but going SO long without carbs on Atkins made it…
