Living in Chicago and selling cars when I was not to hungover to show up.I was banging damn near any chick with blonde hair and blue eyes that I came across while enjoying season tickets for the Cubbies and the Blackhawks. Life was pretty damn sweet however, in 2003 I wound up marrying one of said blonde haired, blue eyed fun toys and here I am many years later with two kids and wife that no isn’t nearly as fun as the night I met her. Life goes on.

Living in NOVA where I am now but in a different house. I was in the process of building my first business which ultimately failed but I learned how not to do a lot of things and we took that knowledge and reinvented ourselves and started a new business in 2010 which has had good success and is now starting to scale.

First year out of college. Working at a predatory lending company selling refi's in Dunwoody ATL.. Making decent money with no responsibilities and spending money on things I shouldn't have. Mostly a blur. If I had taken things more seriously at that time, I probably could have retired by now.

I look at a year like 2002, and I'm kind of happy that we can't see the future. I was living a happy, worry-free life. I'm happy I didn't know about things like Hurricane Katrina and coronavirus coming in the future.

West Pacific deployment, a lotta time underwater. Played a ton of early edition NCAA FB on PlayStation on the 13” TV we had stashed behind a switchboard.

Appeared before the Supreme Court of the United States. Became chief counsel of a large governmental agency. Paid off all my debt (house, cars, child’s college), invested well, and retired a few years later at a relatively young age. So I’ve got that goin’ for me.

I was on a roll, lean and mean and had a woman as a match.
I was happy happy.
My career was set and I'm still in it. She's not however.

Oxford, AL

I was finishing up eighth grade and beginning my freshman year of high school.

At that particular moment my life trajectory was being dictated by my grades in school, which were sub-par to say the least.

Had just turned 21. Junior at LSU. Just started working as a PT tech in New Orleans while going to LSU Tue-Thursday.

Worked 12 hour days twice a week on mondays and friday, took night classes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday nights and school on Tuesday /Thursday.

Kinda ended the normal college schedule for me but gave me an overwhelming number of hours of experience to get into PT school in 2004.

Feel like I wasted the next year or so socially dating a girl.
