Like any young boy/teenager, I got myself into my fair share of embarrassing situations.

I would be remiss to not share with you something that happened to me last night and the regrets of some for not attending our 40th high school reunion at Providence High School in Burbank, California. The small, private Catholic high school is next to Providence St. Joseph’s Hospital and across the street from WaltContinueContinue reading “May 2023 Pitching E-Newsletter: A Lesson in Continuity and Regret”
