“Zen pretty much comes down to three things -- everything changes; everything is connected; pay attention.” - Jane Hirshfield
01 PROFESSIONAL
PASSION FOR SOLVING REAL PROBLEMS
Started in 2014, GroupSense has grown to be a leading provider in Cyber Reconnaissance. GroupSense has taken a unique hands on approach to assisting customers' need for effective cyber intelligence.
I am most proud of the company culture and team. While we have not raised the capital that many in our space have, we have continued to innovate and win with an outstanding team. Further, we have focused on doing good for our customers and others, profit aside. It is rare in business when altruism and capitalism coexist.
02 FITNESS
SWEATING FOR INNER PEACE
I WORK OUT TO BE
capable. I started caring about personal fitness about 8 years ago. I remember the morning vividly. I woke up at around 4:30am from a dead sleep. I was overweight, unhappy, angry at the world. Tired. I recognized that heart disease, type II diabetes, and other illnesses were pervasive in my family. That morning I woke up and did my first morning workout. I have continued nearly every morning since.
I committed to a daily regimen of fitness and healthy eating. I enjoy helping and motivating those around me. See my post for ideas on how to get started.
I run, bike, hike, lift.
I practice yoga and meditation and mindfulness.
03 MOTORCYCLES
CARLESS
I RIDE.
I am an avid motorcyclist. I ride long distances and on short commutes. I ride and camp. I ride and hike. I ride just to ride.
Former President of the BMW Bikers of Metropolitan Washington and active member of the BMW Motorcyclists of America.
I sometimes contribute to motorcycle publications:
TRO Podcast
BMW MOA Bagger Article
BMW MOA Ride Report
... and many others
I currently am riding a BMW R1200GS (LC), a Triumph Street Triple, and my "destination bike", a 1987 K100RS...likely parked in some western US state, awaiting my arrival.
