Well, that's a wrap

Another year is coming to an end and it’s time to look back at what I’ve accomplished this year:

• January - joined the Maple Grove Park Dog Owners’ Association (MGPDOA) as a member-at-large and took on helping with their IT needs. Also launched OVMA Pet Insurance at work, which has been a game changer
• February - got into hardware mode and installed a vent for my dryer and an Ecobee3 smart thermostat
• March - hit the ten year mark at my current employer
• April - launched the new MGPDOA website
• May - enjoyed some time away from the computer and out at the dog park
• June - headed to Toronto with my team from work for a town-hall and managed to catch a Blue Jay’s game as a team before heading home
• July - started a journey to decide what direction to take my career by reading more, listening to podcasts, and getting into some coding projects
• August - built up my Homelab server and launched a new Pet Insurance brand - Peppermint - at work
• September - took a long vacation in the Netherlands visiting my sister
• October - enjoyed time with family for Thanksgiving
• November - started and ended this month with trips to Toronto and Kirchner Waterloo for DR (Disaster Recovery) exercises with work. Got to see my first live NBA game - Raptors vs. Warriors!
• December - had a relaxing time with family over the Christmas season

Overall 2018 was a goo year for me and I’m looking to keep that going in 2019!
