Have you ever gotten lost on purpose?

I was fortunate enough to work in Ireland for nearly two years (humble brag) and was able to take weekend trips to many different cities in western and central Europe, where I found getting lost and walking through a city aimlessly was an exciting and effective way to absorb the culture and ambiance of a place.

What's the best live music show you've seen?

Quickly transition to sports talk. If offseason, avoid eye contact while backing out of the room, then run.

What is your favorite productivity tool?

I rely on my calendar app and OneNote for all my to-do lists, big and small, even outside of work.
