One question per week. One reflection.
A journey toward being more thoughtful than productive.
About this journal
Every week, I choose a question and sit with it.
Some questions are about family. Others are about work, faith, technology, purpose, or growing older. The goal isn’t expertise or certainty. It’s reflection.
Because a good life is shaped less by the answers we have and more by the questions we continue to ask.

Who are the people shaping your life right now, and what role does each play?
My wife has shaped my life more than anyone else. My dreams, hopes, worries, limitations, and values have all been profoundly influenced by her. Every major decision I make is done in consultation with her. Even the most difficult situations at work are discussed with her first.
Beyond my wife, my children shape me in quieter but equally important ways. They inspire me to do my best. They remind me to be a good person and to live as a healthy, well-rounded individual.
Do you believe in God?
What a tough question. I think there are actually several questions hidden beneath this one question.
The first is: Is there a God at all?
If someone met you today and spent a month observing your life, what would they conclude matters most to you?
It would be very easy to see that two things truly matter to me, and everything else is a distant third: family and work.
I dedicate so much of my time, energy, and attention to these two that there is little left for anything else. To some, that may sound like a monotonous life. To me, it is a life I genuinely love.
What do you most hope your children remember about you someday?
I hope my children remember me as someone who is always laughing and someone who made them laugh.
I want them to remember the feeling of laughter long after they’ve forgotten the joke itself. I want them to go through life knowing that laughter is normal, because that’s the kind of home they grew up in.
