Decision. Discipline. Health. Second Acts.
For much of my adult life, people have asked me a curious question:
“Are you on the radio?”
The answer has always been no — though, in hindsight, I probably should have given it a shot by now.
This site exists because words, voice, and ideas matter. As digital platforms evolve, I believe it remains essential to have a space to think, write, and build in public.
Why The Extra Mile
For this reason, The Extra Mile is my long-form home — a place to capture ideas, reflections, and projects that don’t fit neatly into a typical social post, reel, or conversation.
I’ve spent decades working my career, focusing on technology, real estate, health, leadership, and reinvention. Along the way, I’ve learned that meaningful change comes down to a few fundamentals:
- A clear decision
- Consistent discipline and habits
- Respect for health and energy
- A desire for growth
- The courage to begin again
Ultimately, this site is where those themes come together in an ongoing conversation.
A little background
Professionally, my career has spanned senior leadership roles in technology, real estate, and entrepreneurial ventures. Personally, I’ve walked through major health and lifestyle changes, including long‑term sobriety, weight loss, and a renewed focus on longevity and performance.
Those experiences reshaped how I think about:
- Work in the second half of life
- Energy, metabolism, and daily habits
- Identity beyond titles
- The power of showing up consistently over time
I don’t write as an expert looking down — I write as a practitioner still in the arena. As a man in this modern world, I seek the energy, strength, and enthusiasm to take another step forward. To extend the run to its joyful completion.
What you’ll find here
You’ll find writing and recordings that explore:
- Decision‑making and discipline
- Health, longevity, and metabolic fitness
- Sobriety and clarity
- Career reinvention and second acts
- Leadership, habits, and momentum
Some pieces will be reflective, some practical, but all are meant to be helpful to you, my audience.
About the Podcast
Occasionally, I record short audio reflections — conversations, monologues, and thoughts best shared by voice. These live here as podcasts, answering the question of whether I should be on the radio.
If you prefer listening to reading, you’re in the right place, and I hope you’ll enjoy what I put together for you.
An open invitation
You don’t need to read everything. You don’t need to agree with everything.
This is a long-term project, built slowly and intentionally — much like the life it reflects.
If something here resonates, subscribe or return, or simply take what’s useful. This site aims to support thoughtful living — especially when going The Extra Mile.
