What am I doing now?
Borrowing the idea of the “now” page from Derek Sivers.

A new year! Some set backs from the herniated disc. Still posting runs and activites on my Strava account.
We are expecting a baby soon, in March. Very excited about this. Not sure how much things will change. I’m sure everything will change. But it’s hard to know just how much. You know?

My running has really picked up lately! I’ve been able to increase both my frequency and distance, which feels great after the long recovery from my herniated disc. The consistency is finally coming back, and I’m feeling stronger with each run.
I’ve also gotten back into soccer, which I’m really excited about. It feels good to be back on the field and playing the sport I love. My back seems to be handling the more dynamic movements well, which is a huge relief.
The new job at One continues to be fantastic. I’m really enjoying diving deep into performance engineering again, and the team culture is great. There’s so much interesting work to do in the fintech space, and I’m learning something new every day.

I am living in Burlington, Vermont. We moved over the summer.
My recovery from last winter’s herniated disc has had its ups and downs. For a while, I was getting better, and then I played golf again and it went downhill. I’ve slowly been building back up to running and other fitness like soccer. With the stop-start nature of my fitness, I keep pulling muscles and odd things. Still recording workout runs on my Strava account.
I’m excited for the ski season. Hoping to do more backcountry skiing this year, in addition to downhill.
I started a new job, as well. I’m now working as a performance engineer (once again), this time at One. For some time, I’ve been interested in how modern finance can work better for us. And, it’s a company with a lot of growth potential. I’ve been working a lot, and it’s a bit of a change from Nuix, but I am learning a lot.

I am living in Winooski, Vermont.
Trying to recover from a herniated disc, so slowly building back up to running, golf, and soccer.
Last year, I switched positions at Nuix. I was a performance engineer for 7 years, but now I am a software engineer. The way I think of it: I know how to break software, now I want to learn how to build it so others can’t break it.
With my back, I am trying to do “micro-runs” through out the day. Small jogs of around one mile, to break up the day, get my fitness levels back up, and allows for my back to rest in between workouts. I’m recording my workouts in Strava to track my progress.

I am doing more running, getting back into soccer, and enjoying my new job at One as a performance engineer.
