I originally grew up in Kansas, working on various golf courses and our family farm. Then, after high school, I moved to Texas for college. One of the greatest things kids get to learn when growing up in a Kansas farming community is a relentless work ethic.
I spent my late 20s and 30s working in the Dallas and Addison areas in the VC start-up, M&A, and turnaround fields for Z-Acquisition Group and its entities. It required a lot of travel and was high-stress, but it offered upside when transactions were successful. It allowed me to see much of the world and develop great relationships with fantastic people.
COVID changed the world in 2020. It not only inflicted health problems and destruction upon its victims, but also permanently changed people's attitudes about how business was done for the prior 100+ years; some changes were positive, some were not. If you combine the changed attitude with the sudden flood of AI into the marketplace, what does the next 30 years of employment look like for our kids? Good question.
My career path also changed after COVID-19. I'm now a single dad, with the kids as my first priority. And I'm still consulting, serving as an Expert Witness for related agricultural cases, along with being an Arbitrator and a Certified Mediator in Texas. I look forward to spending the next decade watching my kids grow up and continuing to help people in my career fields.
