Rewriting Life’s Next Chapter

After 42 years in two demanding careers, I’ve stepped away from the daily grind—but not from purpose. Retirement isn’t a slowdown; it’s a reset. Now, I write with the clarity of hindsight, making sense of past lessons while embracing what’s next.

I run two newsletters where I explore history, philosophy, and the arts—breaking down big ideas into relatable insights. My camera sharpens my storytelling, while music, sports, and faith keep me grounded in life’s rhythm.

Here, you’ll find:

1. Time & Meaning—Lessons from decades of experience.

2. Curiosity Rediscovered—Hobbies as New Life Compasses.

3. The Power of Slowing Down—Living with Intention.

I write not as an expert, but as a fellow traveler, still awestruck by how much there is to see when you finally pause to look. Topics I cover: writing, history, philosophy, photography, music, sports, and the art of paying attention.
