This is the part of the site that doesn’t come with bullet points. It’s where I spend my time when I’m not building brands, running events, or working alongside business owners — usually outside, and usually with a dog nearby. Whether I’m kayaking a quiet stretch of river, hiking my favorite trail, or doing goat yoga (yes, it’s a thing), these are the moments that keep me grounded, curious, and human.

Bagheera is my 14-year-old Great Dane–Greyhound mix — a lanky old gentleman who still acts like a puppy. With his soulful face, we couldn’t resist getting him a tintype portrait. (you may recognize him from the favicon on this site)

Proof that I’ll try anything once. This little sweater-wearing goat climbed into my lap and stole the show.

Some days, all I need is a paddle and a pup. Beau Diddley usually calls shotgun.

This sweet guy wasn’t mine — we just met that day. But if there’s a dog nearby, I’m probably stopping to say hello. Always have, always will.

Technically, I only have two dogs. Practically speaking, I often have both of them in my lap at once. This is what work-life balance looks like in my house.

Most of the good thinking happens out here.

The outdoors are my happy place, especially when shared with my husband and son — though they prefer to stay behind the camera.
