After weeks of limping around and complaining, I finally went to my family doctor to see what was causing my problems. I learned I have hip osteoarthritis, something that I’d never heard of before now. After my appointment and, before I headed to the pharmacy, I went to my trusty online search engine, looking for more details.
I now know more than I ever wanted to know about this condition and how it affects an enormous number of men my age. Lucky me. I’ve been fortunate enough to escape many of the aches, pains, and illnesses that eventually appear during my lifetime. However, as my friendly physician pointed out, parts of our bodies do wear out over time. I hope this is the only body part that needs a tune-up for the foreseeable future.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
