This past week, I made my annual summer trip back home to Boston where I was able to see some of my family and friends. I was also able to get in some good continuing education and networking. On Thursday afternoon, my wife and I were able to get a training session in at the […]
Sorry I haven’t been posting in a few weeks here. The Ducks went on a good run all the way to game 7 of the second round of the playoffs where we lost to the Detroit Red Wings. Now that the off-season has officially begun, I promise to deliver more content on the blog. Thank […]
