      About Me
      I'm Mike, the owner of an athletic development company called HPC. I recently quit my financially secure day job to 1) finish my PhD and 2) take my business full time. It's a risky venture and a major redirection (hence the blog name) in my life. I love food, hate sleep, and want to be my own boss. I have mild OCD and ADD but I will always post, so please come back if you are interested in following this venture and maybe picking up some random bits along the way.

Out of Time move 10 Things I Hate About You move I’m a little surprised since my content is all over the place but I’ll take it…even if I did squeak in at number 100. Check out the list there’s... 

    Conspicuously absent from my last mega update post was any new news on opening my training facility. The reason for that is that there is no update. In fact, things are exactly the same as they were 2-3 weeks ago. I’ve actually been through enough of these things to realize that I tend to be fatally optimistic on time lines and it’s always best to expect about two to three times as long as you think you should be. So the update... 

    Sorry for the delay. I had a lot going on. The good news is that gives me a lot to update on. Too much, in fact. So I’m gonna try to summarize the past couple weeks as best I can. The 2 biggest things that have happened over the past 2 weeks is that I passed my dissertation Louis C.K.: Chewed Up hd defense with flying colors and moved my wife and daughter from OH (where we had been living for the past 6 months) to Cary, NC (where...
