An Amazing Two Months!


To say that a lot has changed since my last post is an understatement. The two biggest changes/events were the birth of my daughter and my trip to China. In addition to those two events I attended the Yale - Harvard football game, celebrated my birthday, finished my first semester of school, had family visit, and spent a good amount of time with my wife.

The birth of my daughter was an absolutely amazing experience. My wife was fantastic and so strong. We were supported by a great staff at the Yale-New Haven hospital. Everyone finished the long day healthy and in great spirits. It has since been wonderful spending time with my girls.

January 3 - 14 I was on the other side of the globe. I spent time with 43 of my classmates in Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing. Each city was very unique and provided a great experience. We visited some of the premier companies in the world and high-ranking Chinese governement officials. The significance of what I learned will remain with me throughout my career. I am grateful for the opportunity!
