First Newsletter!

Earlier this year, I decided that 2023 would be the year I would go all in on creating content and sharing my knowledge of nearly 15 years working in tech with others around me. If you’re reading this, that means you are among the first few to sign up to my newsletter, and for that I am truly grateful.

I plan to send these on a fairly regular basis, twice per month at the least. To start, a lot of it will be a recap of my content as well as other stuff I’m working on. Thanks again for taking the time to subscribe and read this!

Big announcement!

Before I jump into what I normally plan to send with this newsletter, I’ve got what might be one of the most exciting opportunities I’ve had in a while. This July, I’ll be giving my first ever in-person talk at THAT Conference in Wisconsin! I’m BEYOND excited for this. I attended THAT in Austin TX in January and it literally course corrected my future in tech. Hoping to see some of you there 🎉

So much so that I changed my profile image in various places and now I’m working on tweaking my graphics to match, starting with my upcoming YouTube thumbnails:
