Level 29: Year in review: 2019

Long Hiatus

For a look at previous years, take a look at 2017 and 2018.

Sorry for the long time away. After writing for such a long time, I thought it was time to go on the hunt for new content. I’ll be committing to another year of writing; look forward to new posts from me.

Looking at 2019:

It was my first year of:

• being married!
• became Toastmasters president at Avanade.
• starting my Master’s! That’s exciting.
• learning how to slow down and manage burnout and desires.
• almost joining the Canadian Armed Forces.
• teaching Confirmation class.
• writing my first Azure certification (AZ-203). Currently en route to another (AZ-300).
• meeting a CEO in person.
• getting Sony-XM3s 🎧🎧🎧.
• going to my first ever NBA 🏀 game (Game 4 of the Raptors vs Bucks!)
• wearing an inflatable dinosaur suit!
• doing Movember.
• Dear Evan Hansen with my wife.
• winning a foosball tournament!
• hosting a foosball tournament!
• watching Pulp Fiction for the first time.
• went axe throwing, lol.

Some key events that stick out to me:

• shaving my head for Movember donations.
• flying to the States for client work for the first time.
• met clients in Toronto for brand-name companies. That was awesome.
• Node Interactive Summit conference attendee.

This year was impactful and served a lot of needs. I needed to establish a stronger foundation for my career and life going forward.

On to better and brighter.
