Impact & Longevity
The guys in this photo made an impact on my life long ago. They didn’t know it then. They might know now that they have shaped a lot of peoples lives. They don’t know me.
Name someone that doesn’t know you that made an impact on your life long ago and that impact is still part of who you are.

2010 | non essential goals
For my job I have been mapping out some goals for this year and it had me thinking; ‘what about personal goals?’. I’m not talking about those serious ones we all get caught up in, losing weight, quit smoking, etc. I was thinking more on the not mission critical goals tip. So here they are:
Shoot under par at Wilco
I have shot par twice at Wilco, but only on my best days. There’s only a few scoring opportunities for people like me who can’t throw 500 feet, the rest of the holes you just need to survive.
30 inches
At my peak in college I measured in at 38″ standing vertical and was getting over 40″ at game time. It was really the only thing was good at on the court. I haven’t dunked all over someone in a long time…I think I need to change that this year, I’m shooting for 30 inches.
7 ply
I’m going to get my kids on skateboards this year. It’s time they learned about the maple and urethane that saved my life.
What are some non-essential goals you have this year?

Golf and Skateboarding
I like to golf, but I prefer to ride my skateboard. When I tell people I skate, it usually gets a conversation going along the lines of; “Aren’t you a little old for that?”
Skateboarding is my first love. I have been on the seven ply since 1986 when I got my first stick with a dragon on the bottom. I often tell people that skating saved my life and continues to be an important part of my spiritual journey. But I am sure there are a lot of golfers out there who use the game as a tool of spirituality.
So I give love to people who still do what they love.
