What brings someone with no formal writing or blogging experience to start a blog? That’s the question I have been asking myself over the past year and finally decided to answer by, well, writing this blog. As a Chief Operating Officer for a national fulfillment company, a current online college student, and family man, finding time to start seemed to be the difficult part, but once I got going I quickly realized that this is something I really enjoyed. It also helped that I managed to watch The Office through countless times.

This blog will not be like most that you encounter. In anything that I do, I researched all of the tips and tricks with starting a blog, especially those with focus on people who had zero prior experience with blogging. Most of the articles taught me how to start and grow a blog in order to profit from it. They advise that you pick a narrow topic so that you are more relevant to those searching for topics you focus on. Instead of blogging about photography, they suggest you narrow it to writing about black and white nature photography. That wasn’t what I was looking to do though. I wanted something where I could share my opinions and stories with others from a variety of topics. 

If you ever ask yourself; “Why aren’t there more hours in a day?”, “How long do I have before I need to make sure I am home for my kids activities”, “What does my local representative stand for?”, or “How do you get gum out of your daughter’s hair without cutting it?”, this is the place for you. 

So if you are finding this, welcome to my first post that will lead to others that will be about anything from balancing work and homelife, to politics, to the latest parenting lesson my five year old taught me. I hope my stories and experiences are something you can relate to and would love for it to lead to a line of communication that grows on the articles themselves. This blog is meant for everyone, no matter where you come from, to interact and share with one another in a respectful way.
