Life Notes, Year in Review

2018 – A Year in Review

In November, I was back in Manhattan, Kan., for a few days and spoke to an agriculture communications class at my alma mater (Kansas State). After my presentation, I spent most of the time answering students' questions about my career and my path there. Toward the end, one of my old professors asked, "So what's… Continue reading 2018 – A Year in Review

2017 – A Year in Review

Let me annoy you by being cliche and stating that "I can't believe 2017 went by so quickly." 🙂 But really, 2017 felt like a WHIRLWIND for me.  Personally, my year was filled with good health (well, for the most part), great adventures and even greater people. I worked through the hard knocks and challenges,… Continue reading 2017 – A Year in Review
