Wishing the happiest of birthdays to Lisa today!

You don't truly understand what a blessed life looks like until you find the person who complements you so completely. Lisa is that person for me. We work together, travel together, and spend nearly every moment of this life together, and I have never once thought it was too much.

She is my champion. My get-it-done-now. She is the organized to my chaotic. People spend their whole lives searching for what I get to wake up to every single day. Every day is an adventure with you and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Happy Birthday, Lisa.

Went to my first NEXT - Chamber's Young Professionals meeting at Bernick's today! Looking forward to getting to know these folks better!

This whole week is full of meetings and chamber events but, yesterday was particularly awesome!
We started the day out on the right track by attending Start.up Connect, followed by a stop at Tenvoorde Ford. Next was the Saint Cloud Area Chamber of Commerce 39th Annual Business Awards Luncheon. The afternoon was filled with a blood donation to the American Red Cross in Minnesota and, ending on a high note, was meeting new people at the AGC Agency Inc. Happy Hour!
We are so happy to be home, and this is why. Our community.

We went to the shop of Mad Hatter Designs and learned about their process.
They even made me a tumbler while I watched!
Ask me to see the final product, I'll have this with me, everywhere!

This was my commute last month.

Small business owners shouldn't have to worry about their website.

That's not why you started your business.

Managed hosting means someone's watching the tech so you don't have to; quietly, in the background, while you do the work you're actually good at.

I handled a site issue for a client while I was traveling in Japan. They found out on our next call: as a footnote.

That's the goal.

If your website feels more like a liability than an asset, let's talk. Send me a message or find the link in the comments.

Happiest of birthdays to my favorite person.

This winter we wandered, we ate well, and he talked me down from at least one full server meltdown. That’s love.

Thank you for being my travel partner, my calm in the storm, and a true partner through all of it. So grateful it’s your birthday so I have an excuse to say it out loud.

Happy Birthday, Chad!

I just completed a full server upgrade for all of my hosted client sites — from Sapporo (Japan.)
Faster performance, better security, more capacity.
Done.
Minimal downtime, little drama, and nothing my clients needed to worry about.
That's kind of the whole point of having someone manage your website for you.
If your current setup isn't running as smoothly as it should, let's talk.

📚 It's National Library Week and I have to talk about one of my favorite resources.
Your Great River Regional Library card? It's doing way more than most people realize, and as a small business owner, I LOVE that this stuff is free.

✅ LinkedIn Learning - 3,000+ courses on marketing, business, tech, and creative skills. On your couch. At midnight. No judgment.
✅ Business databases - real market research and industry intel, not just a Google rabbit hole
✅ One-on-one appointments with a librarian - actual humans who will sit down and help you find what you need
✅ Free meeting rooms - professional space for client meetings without the coffee shop background noise
✅ Legal self-help resources - a solid starting point when you have questions but aren't ready to call a lawyer

I'm a big believer that community resources exist to be used. And this one's too good to sleep on. If you don't have a card, make sure you get one!

The Great River Regional Library (GRRL) has been serving Central Minnesota for more than 50 years, providing free books, information, education, and much more.

Happy First Day of Spring!
There's something about this time of year that always makes me want to reset. Open the windows, clear the clutter, start fresh.
And I think about that same feeling when it comes to the small businesses I work with. So many owners are running hard every day, and their website just... sits there. Outdated, neglected, not really doing much for them anymore.
That's exactly why we created our Care Plans. Not to add something complicated to your plate, but to take something off of it. Your site gets kept up, kept secure, and kept working for you without you having to think about it.
If your website could use a little spring cleaning, I'd love to help. Let's talk.
