I left my place of employment. I work as a sports performance coach and had some struggles with the owner and tried every way possible to resolve them but he was the most difficult person I have ever worked with. It is a real bummer since I liked the people I worked with and most things about it. But I was encouraged by a couple investors to leave and do my own thing. So currently I am trying to get my own sports performance facility in SLC open. I will be focusing on speed training but will have lots more going on. I am still looking for a location. I need a decent amount of space but would prefer if I could sublet from a current business or share space to keep overhead relatively low. If anyone knows of anything, let me know!
This summer is filled with "vacations" that I didnt necessarily choose to go on but feel obligated to go to.
My friend won Miss Hawaii so I am going next week to Vegas to watch her in the Miss USA pageant. I am sure ill find a way to make it fun but beauty pageants are not generally something I enjoy. Also vote for her here to help her win!

Next up I have a good friend who is having their birthday party at Harry Potter world. So despite never reading the books or watching the movies or caring at all about Harry Potter I will be taking my second trip to Harry Potter world in Orlando. I will have a lot of fun though. 8 of us are going and sharing a suite in hotel and will have a lot of fun. Also ill be the only guy so there is that.
Next Ill be in San Diego for a wedding that is going to be 3 days long and camping, It should be a lot of fun. They are really good friends of mine from Burning Man and it will be the first time ill be a best man at a wedding.
Lastly I have spent most my free time fixing up a 108 year old house that was in rough condition. I had an electrician and a plumber come in first and replace all the electrical and plumbing in the house. I then remodeled the front room and the kitchen. Next I cleaned up and put in movie room in the mostly unfinished basement. It is really creepy and cool down there since it is the old stone foundation as walls. It is a great place for a movie room. I am going to remodel the bathrooms next. I am having the roof redone soon and trying to decide if I want to put solar panels in. The attic needs the framing redone and there is tons of space up there and used to be a room originally but hasnt been used as such in at least 60 years. So I am going to frame it out and run electrical and plumbing up there and make a decent master suite up there. Ill have to post some pictures of some of the before and after. Ill figure out where those photos are.
I have been doing side work related to my job since leaving but I have also been doing random work. I started doing some acting since that is what my wife does part-time. I am going to be in some Brent Brown Toyota commercials as well as a slow the flow commercial that I think will mostly air at RSL games. Having done other acting stuff I decided that acting is not for me so I might retire soon. I did get to do some stunts as a zombie that was super fun, maybe ill do more of that if I can.
Its just a local thing but still fun

That is mostly what is going on in my life right now. Oh it was my wifes birthday this last weekend and I organized 30 people to do a 3 hour long scavenger/treasure hunt bar hopping thing for it. It was pretty fun.
