today is my workiversary. on july 14th, 2007 i drove through the wrought iron gates and up the curved driveway for my very first day of work at la jolla country club.

seven years later, i still get little butterflies as i retrace those first steps from the back parking lot overlooking the village of la jolla up to my tiny office overlooking the putting green.

like with any long-term relationship, there have been ups and downs and every elevation in between. but the longer i’m here, the more grateful i am for this position, this place, these colleagues, members, and experiences.

y’all there are much worse places i could commute to everyday.

so cheers to year seven. may it continue to challenge, shape, and grow me in both the professional and personal realms. and may each interaction -whether it be with new applicants or staff -be an opportunity for me to live out the love of Christ in real time.

can’t beat this view.
