last few months, in particular, we now have a good portion of our staff based outside of San Luis Obispo. Let’s switch gears for a minute and talk about your family. I live with my wife, Kayla, and our son Lucas, who’s fifteen months old. I’ve got to say that my wife is a saint. She, unfortunately, hasn’t been able to pursue her career as much lately. She’s a fitness instructor, and pretty much all the gyms got shut down. So she’s been doing some remote classes out of the house on Zoom, but she’s spent most of the time watching Lucas and raising him, especially in this critical time when I’ve been working remote out of the home office, which has definitely been a challenge. But we’re very fortunate. I can only imagine how tough it would be for a family with both parents trying to work full time remotely out of the same house with dueling Zoom calls and trying to balance raising a kid at the same time. I certainly understand that not all family situations are created equal. It’s made us understand that with our employees, too, that not everybody has the same situation going on. What do you do to unplug? When I’m not working or I’m not hanging out with family most likely you can catch me out on the water. I started paddle boarding about four or five years ago at this point. At first, what hooked me on paddle boarding was just being a part of nature and being able to see close up so many things this region has to offer. Then, I caught my first wave. After I started surfing, it progressed to higher performance paddle boards. It’s one of the few times I’m unplugged from technology. The latest journey is SUP foiling, which is when you lift up out of the water. I’m starting to really get the hang of it, but it’s definitely a humbling experience. It’s almost like starting over because you’re basically flying an airplane that’s hovering over the water and you’re still in the ocean dealing with waves and the ground and potential hostile marine life. Starting over. Sounds a lot like entrepreneurship. It’s a change up in terms of a life because much of my day is based in technology. Actually somebody asked me, “What is it about paddle boarding that is engaging?” Maybe it’s because I played rugby for ten years, but I said something like, “Oh, entertainment for me has got to include a little bit of physical jeopardy, a little bit of risk associated with it.” And, actually, I have found that I get really bored paddling on fresh water, paddling on lakes. It’s still fun, but I can paddle out in the ocean for a couple hours and it’s much more of a challenge with swell and the potential for sharks and everything because, you know they’re out there. But, on a lake, there’s none of that, so, for me, when you remove that piece of jeopardy, it’s a little bit less exciting, less engaging. SLO LIFE 44 | SLO LIFE MAGAZINE | OCT/NOV 2020
