Cliff’s Notes Version:
The child of two college professors, who loves the ocean, ends up getting a job as a Resident Assistant at UCSB and ends up walking away from his dream of being the next Jacques Cousteau and chooses a lifetime in Multifamily instead.
Along the way, he meets the love of his life and has two amazing boys (now men with amazing significant others). Then they go through a 4-year period of hell.
What I refer to as ‘The Timeline of Suck’
Brain tumor scares. Near death experiences. Breast Cancer battles. Depression.
Fun times.
However, the story has a happy back half.
It is a story of family triumph. Of professional achievement. Of taking advantage of opportunity by showing up with authenticity and transparency. Of not being afraid to think differently.
And one I am dedicated to sharing the lessons learned with whomever will listen.
