I can’t remember for the life of me where I learning this trick from, but I thought I’d share it nonetheless. I’ve been using it quite frequently recently so it’s at the forefront of my thoughts.

I’m not exactly sure where it came from, but Squat 20 is a little inside joke that we have going at work. It’s mostly with the Engineering Team, but the rest of us get in on it from time to time. Now when I say we get in on it, we actually do squats together as [...]

News to share! I’m no longer the Services Trainer at Hannon Hill. As of this week I’ll be transitioning into the Sales Engineering (SE) role. I’m pretty excited about the move. I really do love training so the decision didn’t come lightly, but I’ll still be doing a little training from time to time. I [...]
Apologies for the lack of activity lately. The hustle and bustle of my weekly routine took the life right out of my blog. It’s a little ironic that I stopped blogging because I felt busy and had no material but now have more thoughts swirling around than ever. One major blog related update is the [...]
