Welcome!

Hi!  Welcome to my blog! 

I started this blog to write about happiness, being more effective at work, and the pursuit of financial independence (so you don’t have to work).  It turns out that all 3 of these are related.

I am a father of 2, a husband, and an engineer.  I love to run, bike, ski and climb.  

A couple year ago I was miserable.  Long hours at a demanding job had consumed all other areas of my life.  I felt like I was failing as a father, as a husband, as an employee, and as a human in general.  Eventually I hit a breaking point and decided that I had to do something to improve my situation.

I’ve had a wild ride the past several years! This blog is the story of where I’ve been, where I am, and where I am going. 

I’ve learned a lot along the way, and hopefully some of the things that I’ve learned will be helpful to you.  Please feel free to add constructive comments to articles so that I can learn from you too!  

Feel free to start with my first post or to head over to the all posts page to browse and see what interests you.

Cheers!
