<p>Having recently completed my role as a senior executive, where I focused on developing initiatives to ensure the organization I worked for lived out its mission and values, I chose to retire <em>to</em> something—not <em>from</em> something.</p><p> </p><p> My wife and I have three extraordinary adult children, each with an amazing partner. Together, they have created families of their own, and we now have the joy of eight wonderful grandchildren—I call them <em>the grands</em>. Each brings a unique story, boundless potential, and immeasurable joy. This is the true wealth of a shared lifetime. Our family is my source of inspiration, and our many family gatherings are treasured.</p><p> </p><p>Writing is now my joy and a way for me to continue engaging in work that feels meaningful. Much of my writing is non-fiction, focused on reflection, growth, and thoughtful living. In addition to writing, I also share information and resources through my wedding website.</p><p> </p><p>Hiking, gardening, traveling, coffee in the morning, wine in the evening, and any time with my wife, Shannon, whom I adore, are things that add to my tremendously enjoyable life. </p><p> </p><p>Thank you for taking the time to explore my work.</p><p>David</p>
