About Me

I'm Calman (yes, that's my real name).

I'm a husband, father, leader at Heroic Public Benefit Corporation, writer, triathlete, and someone who's learning every day.

I don't always make the progress I want, I'm certainly not perfect, but I remain optimistic about what can be created in this life.

I spend my days leading a team, raising my beautiful daughter, and pushing myself physically and mentally. None of it's perfect, to say the least, but through that I learn a lot, and then I bring those lessons here.

This is where I share my wins, struggles, and what I'm learning along the way.

Sometimes it's about the challenges of leadership or bringing focus and creativity to an exciting, evolving role.

Sometimes it's about the aim to always be present for my family, but the fact that I don't always hit the mark.

Sometimes it's about what happens when you push your body to new limits, and why I think energy and health is just so, so important.

I write because I believe we get better together, not by pretending we have it all figured out, but by being honest about what we're actually going through and what we're discovering in the process.

Writing is the best (and maybe only) way I know how to slow down, think, and articulate what I'm seeing as I navigate this world, and why, through it all, I remain optimistic about what's possible for me, you, and humanity.
