About Me

Who Am I?

I’m a non-traditional lawyer, a dedicated traveler, regular reader, and generally curious to a fault. I love red wine, visiting new places, quality conversations, walking cities, campfires and s’mores, my morning coffee, and the NY Times. I believe in living intentionally rather than simply going through the motions, but creating the life you want is a ongoing endeavor. We grow and change and so should our lives.

I work full time as a lawyer, but I left law firm life behind to take a unique legal path with a private company. I don’t miss the billable hour! My job is about half law and half business. It sits far outside a traditional legal department and much closer to marketing and sales.

Why I Write Here?

I’ve written in the past about lifestyle design when it became clear to me that I had been totally neglecting my life in favor of my career.

As a result, I made some changes… I got out of the office more, got back to the rest of my life, and started questioning it. Ultimately, I kept some things and cut others. So far, I’ve kept my city, my car, and my profession, but I cut the credit card debt and went to work for a new company. I also gave my leisure a big makeover, finding time again for adventure!

We’ll see what changes the future brings! I use this space to share, critique, ponder, opine, and connect as one participant in the global online conversation around travel, life, and other interesting things along the way.
