Who am I?
Hi, I’m Dan, a mid-30s engineering leader who loves to learn, if I could spend all my days reading new books, consuming podcasts and thinking I would. I also love to help people reach their potential. I will be posting concepts and ideas I’ve learned on how to lead with empathy, be a better teammate and how to grow yourself to where you want to be. I’ll start off here with my core values, what makes life meaningful for me and hopefully how I live my best life and can be my best self every day.
Core values:
1. Learning every day of my life.
2. Create a positive impact on the world with work that is making a difference.
3. Don’t take yourself too seriously, live with playfulness.
4. Collaboration is how we get to better solutions and answers.
5. Resilience in the face of challenging times.
Lastly, I’m a father of two of the most wonderful, smart and challenging kids you would meet. The ones that suck you in with their laughter and enthusiasm and then when they’ve got you in the right spot, bring down the temper tantrum hammer. Learning with them, from them and teaching them is one of the most fulfilling parts of my life and they’ll be cropping up here as well.
