About Me

My Story

I had just gotten to a place where I wanted to live more.

Hi there I’m Josh! First I want to thank you for coming to visit my site. As with all things it is a constant work in progress. Just like me and hopefully all of us. Learning become some new each day is what lead me to start this site and change myself for the better.

Let me explain that a little more. You see my story starts a few years ago. I was well into a decade of tech support. I was also not living my best life at all. My diet was poor, physical activity was very low, and there was very little social life. Looking back now I can absolutely say I was depressed. I didn’t like life outside of work and was in job that had become me waiting for the clock to show it was time to leave. I knew it was a matter of time before I would need to find a new place to work, and so I began the search.

It took less time than I thought to find a new place to work. Good for me as I couldn’t wait to be moving on. The new place was a perfect environment it turns out. I found that a sporting goods company was the perfect motivation for me to change my life. I was around people that were constantly moving and changing. The initial period of my time there was me planing change.

Fast forward a few years and I found myself actually okay with the announcement that they were going out of business. There was this need in me to do something different that had been building. I had just gotten to a place where I wanted to live more. I had accomplished a lot while working there. The list includes dropping 100 lbs of weight, completing 4 half marathons, finishing work on my house. Two events were very important to me starting this blog and this project.

The first was during those first couple of years. I was able to reconnect with my brother after a few years apart by us going on road trips. Never very far but I loved getting away from seeing the same thing, and from staring at a screen all day. The second was meeting the woman that would eventually become my wife. Finding her was a whole different adventure and one that ended with a new partner to explore with.

I can honestly say that without the help and motivation of these two I wouldn’t be where I am today. Trying to explore life and what it means to me.
