We show up for each other
“Of course, we show up for each other.” This has been our response to a ‘thank you’ for 16 years now. While we say ‘of course’ we both know that showing up for each other is an intentional daily choice.

Make Good Choices, Learn Everything.
I don't remember where this sentiment came from, but for at least as long as our kids have been in school, Emily and I have always sent them out into the world with this line. "We love you, make good choices, learn everything". It covers a lot of ground.
My wife, the mogul
Emily and I have been married for almost sixteen years, together for almost twenty years, and have known one another longer than we haven't. We dated when we were freshmen in college and broke up because... well, we were freshmen in college. But we were able to remain friends after dating and years later found our way back to each other. Whenever I'm asked about my marriage, I simply say, "we've got a good thing."
101 Pitches and I just won
I did a brave thing! I announced myself as a woman in tech, as a female founder, as an entrepreneur at the 101st pitch hosted by the Atlanta Tech Village. With Joe Berklund, Partner at Gunderson Dettmer, Emerging Company, Venture Capital, Growth Equity & M&A Lawyer, and Brice Nguoghia, Partner Engineer at Google | Google Startup & Venture Capital Engagement Manager, Cloud Advisor, Entrepreneur as my judges and James Summer, Managing Director at EY and Goodwill of North Georgia board member in the audience - saying I was terrified was an understatement.
We’ll never be a “Disney Family”
TLDR: the world is big and wide, and I could literally take a trip from Atlanta to Europe for the same price that I could take a trip from Atlanta to see fake Europe in Epcot.
Training for your next vacation, and I’m not talking about throwing a fit
When my daughters saw me running up and down stairs with our luggage and running through the airport, they were impressed. They will remember those moments. They will never remember my clothing size, if my cellulite was on display, or if my fit was fitting.
Wanderwing Started with a Snail
The only difference between a million dollar idea and a million dollar business is forward motion. I have no idea where Wanderwing will go, but I know I’m going to keep building this business. Together we will raise a generation of kids who are tech savvy but never tech dependent.
What business do I have starting a business?
I’m a middle-aged woman, never coded in my life, and never owned a business. What business do I have starting a tech company now?
