Welcome to my corner of the internet.

After spending 40 years building enterprise networks, I found myself beginning an unexpected new chapter. Instead of simply retiring on my own schedule, I found myself starting a new chapter.

These days you’ll usually find me on a golf course, behind a Blackstone griddle, tending a smoker, riding my Peloton, or relaxing in the backyard with family and friends.

This site is home base for everything I’m passionate about. Whether you’re here for golf stories, backyard cooking, or simply curious about what retirement really looks like, I’m glad you stopped by.

Thanks for stopping by… After all, I’m Livin’ the Dream

Home. This backyard is where many of the stories, recipes, and ideas you’ll find on these sites begin.
