Happy New Year! 2024 Goals!

2024 is here, my 3rd year in Colorado and after looking back on 2023, I definitely want to make more of this year than I did the last quarter or so of 2023.  New goals just add a bit of focus and change course where things are going a bit awry.  I have a big unfortunate birthday coming up in 2024so it’s even more important for me to make it a great year both personally & professionally.

Have a great happy & healthy one everybody, go smash it!
