I spend a fair amount of time thinking about marketing and AI. The rest of the time, I like doing things that have nothing to do with them.
I run. I play tennis. I document my son's journey as a goalkeeper on YouTube. And these days, I coach youth soccer.
Running teaches persistence. Tennis keeps me competitive and forces me to adapt. Painting gives me a completely different creative outlet. Coaching reminds me that helping someone else improve can be just as rewarding as improving yourself.
One of my favorite projects is documenting my son's journey as a soccer goalkeeper. I record his games, edit the footage, and maintain a YouTube channel to capture his development over time. Click to watch.
Running is about staying active and chasing the next goal: a faster pace. While I've run a couple of 10Ks and a half marathon, I prefer to run 5Ks.
Coaching youth soccer is all about teaching and persuading a group of energetic boys to work as a team. And of course, there's joy in watching them develop individual skills through hard work.
Doubles tennis is about competition and strategy. This keeps me mentally and athletically sharp. The friendships developed over the years keep me coming back.
I don't get the chance to paint as much as I would like to. Other projects have taken priority. To see my work (good and not so good) click here.
A completely unnecessary side project. As a joke, I started sending license plate images to friends. Before long, friends were sending them to me. It's now documented on X.com.
