What a year! Can’t help but reflect on the positives and learn from the negatives. In this post I attempt to summarize the big events from this past year. For more regular updates, subscribe to my monthly-ish newsletter here. Baby Season This year my wife and I welcomed our son into the world. Seriously one…
I love this concept from Naval Ravikant and am actively working to move from 2.5/3 into spot 4. A lot of this comes from building a strong personal brand and being the go-to guy in your field. When you feel it’s time to expand out, you can bring that trusted relationship with you. What are…
I haven’t been at this consulting thing for very long but I can already see huge personal growth in my self. I contribute this to being a “sponge”. What do I mean? When I say “be a sponge” I’m not talking about the fry cook from Bikini Bottom. I’m talking about absorbing as much knowledge,…

I have created written documentation guiding users through the data management process in Salesforce.com…
