Sometimes I had to rely on first impressions, other times I got much deeper into the catalog and even sourced some fun facts about…

To my son Colin: I hope you’re never afraid to be different and embrace what makes you special. I hope that you won’t judge unnecessarily and appreciate your privilege. I hope you are blessed with self-awareness and empathy. I hope you learn from your mom what a strong woman looks like. I hope you surround yourself with strong women and learn…

2 years ago on May 9th, 2014, I took the first step on a leap of faith that would come to define my career.  I started the company that would ultimately evolve into Knucklepuck. There have been some challenges along the way, like being forced to change the name of the business after 4 months to avoid getting sued. There have been…

Some folks are already familiar with Brettgammon, a party game I made up a few years ago when I realized that our social group thrives on competition. Last Thanksgiving we played the 3rd…

It’s been a while since I wrote a Playlist Recommendations post (almost a year…yeesh) but I’ve still been doing the Monthly Playlists. I’ve organized the past year into seasons (winter, spring, summer, and fall), a tip I picked up from one of my favorite people to follow on Spotify: Allie Brown. I’ve known Allie for a long time and she is…

138 days. My first small business venture, which I have dreamed of for as long as I can remember, survived exactly 138 days. The advice you’re going to get when you start a business ranges everywhere from “find a strong mentor in your field” to “make sure you remember to shower every morning like a real job.” We’re told to expect the unexpected and prepare…
