About 7am

Why 7am?

It’s funny, before our son was born I believed the time between wakeup and 7am was the most productive time of the day. Magical things happened by 7am… the sun rose, the first sip of coffee, the grass was fresh and covered with dew (in the summer of course), and most importantly, my mind was sharp and focused. I clung to every precious second I had before the day took on a mind of its own.

After the arrival of our son, this belief has been reinforced. Our pride and joy arrived before 7am (after a VERY long night), the look he gives us face when he opens his eyes for the first time is ALWAYS before 7am (hope that will change some day), and while the private moments between wakeup and 7am have almost completely disappeared, I can say with confidence that wakeup to 7am is still the most magical time of the day. I just share the magic with loved ones rather than my imaginary friend.

Anyway you slice it, 7am defines who I am, how I approach the day, and how I approach any challenge I am presented in life – Fresh, hopeful, and focused.

A Little More About Me

As you will read over time, I am a husband, a dad, a dog owner, a sports fanatic, digital strategist working for Grafik Marketing Communications, and someone who is intrigued by the way technology is shaping our world and the relationships we have with others today. I am obsessed with social media, search, mobile technology, and the thought of integrating all three with the best practices of web marketing. I love to cook (I sometimes think I missed my calling as a chef) and love cooking for family and friends. Finally, as you’ll see from many pictures, I love to laugh and smile, but more importantly, I love making my son laugh and smile even more.
