The Present

I launched this site in the midst of my “professional halftime,” in Fall 2019. After 20+ years in the corporate world, I took the summer off to invest in my family (last year, we moved back to the States after eight years in China) and to write a book.

As I move out of my professional halftime, I’m excited to embark on my next journey. As of 9/9/2020, the book is available for pre-order and my new job starts at McCann China.

Truth is like a sundial.

Having been quarantined for over a month now, I've grown accustomed to the view from my third floor. Having set up a little desk in my bedroom, I watch the shadows shift and grow across the yard throughout the day. There's this one little tree that stands erect, a...
