Wow!  September 20, 2011 was the last time you heard anything from me on here.  Sad, I know (or good for your sake probably) but I have some reasons and a goal to improve the content I post on here in the upcoming year.  So what’s my excuse this time, right?

Well, to start, in October I was offered a dream opportunity of being an Assistant Coach on the Varsity Basketball team at my alma mater.  By the way, my alma mater is the 5th winningest basketball program in the history of Michigan High School basketball.  For those that don’t know much about me, basketball is a HUGE passion of mine so when this opportunity arose, I could NOT turn it down.  Little did I know at that time was that being part of a Varsity basketball program is as close to being a full time commitment as you can get.  Practice every night, games Tuesday’s & Friday’s, and basketball camps for the younger levels on Saturday mornings.  However, it has been an amazing journey to work with young men and to help them become men of character both on and off of the court.

On top of my new position with basketball, my wife and I welcomed a new baby boy to our family last month.  Our new baby boy joins his 2 year old sister in our family so needless to say, life is CRAZY but AWESOME right now!

As some of you know, or may have guessed, I missed my 1st SolidWorks WORLD this year since 2008 which absolutely killed me.  This, however, does not mean that I was not paying attention to the loads of information that was flying out of San Diego last week.  I am hoping to have my response and $0.02 to the preview of SolidWorks 2013 up here by the end of the week along with any other “stuff” that was previewed or discussed last week.

So, please bear with me, I haven’t fallen off of the face of the earth.  I promise, I will have some new content up here shortly!
