HOW I WORK:
I'm working to adopt the principles laid out in Cal Newport's "Deep Work." Here's what that looks like:
- Rise early, meditate, scripture study and exercise
- Work in deep focus in the quiet of the morning
- Have breakfast and spend time with my family from 7-9am
- Deep work from 9-1 and then lunch
- Another session of deep work, or depending on the day, meetings/administrative tasks (low focus required)
- Meticulous in my work and frequently document my code and best practices for the team knowledge base
- Implementing the principles in the 4 Disciplines of Execution by pursuing "Wildly Important Goals," paying attention to lead measures, keeping a scorecard and accountability

HOW I PLAY:
- Riding my motocross bike, pit bike, mountain bike, road bike, scooter, etc.
- Camping, hiking and getting out in nature
- Ping pong
-----------------------------------------------------
I have far more interests than I have time to pursue, which forces me to prioritize a few things. 

As far as my career goes, it's all about database:
- Data Migration, advanced data manipulation.
- Database development and design (Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL)
- Extract, Transform and Load (ETL processes)
- Data profiling and validation
- Documenting processes and tech tips

To accomplish what is expected I’ve had to understand the business and try to translate business needs into technical requirements.

I have also worked in sales, have led, managed and staffed sales teams, and worked hard to expand my skills widely.

Other interests:
- Personal finance/Investing/Economics
- Bitcoin
- Real Estate
- Podcasting

BTW - That's not me in my LI banner pic, it's a pro motocross racer I idolize and share a name with. His view of the clouds aligns well with my day job moving law firms into the cloud, along with my high aspirations.

Over the decades, there has been a shift.

Employers pushing retirement savings responsibility onto employees.

First it happened with pensions, replaced with 401k’s.

Now it’s happening with health insurance, PPO’s being replaced with HSA (health savings accounts).

This has good and bad implications.

The bad news is that this is happening due to rising insurance costs due to lack of transparency and perverse incentives in the insurance industry.

This is pushing employers and employees into plans with higher deductibles and less overall coverage.

The good news is if you can be strategic, understand HSA’s and their benefits, you can come out ahead.

Here’s the key, HSA’s have a triple tax advantage, which means:
- no tax on money that goes in
- no tax on investment growth
- no tax on qualified medical spend

But some things to watch out for:
- don’t let your HSA dollars sit in cash!
- some HSA’s have a threshold of 1-2k you must keep in cash, and you can invest anything above that.
- watch out for fees, plug your fund choices into AI and get a summary of fees vs historical performance.
- keep your medical receipts! If you get audited the burden of proof is on you, they want to make sure you spend it properly for medical purposes

Now the fun part.

How to supercharge your HSA⚡️
- max your HSA (and get employer match if possible)
- use the IRS once per year transfer allowance and put it in the best performing asset with SOUND HSA

This isn’t ETF wrapped ₿itcoin in a HSA, this is real BTC, a step closer to the real deal.

This is sovereign money set aside for your health.

And they’re just getting started.
