The lore from the Kaimuki side of my family tree is that 81 years ago cousin Rudy was out clamming by Pearl Harbor when the bombs started falling so he ditched his clams and worked the recovery effort, pocketed some shrapnel, and years later had it mounted.

It’s great to attend conferences like #CST2020 for all the technical but from a personal level one of the best parts is seeing friends you don’t always get to see as often as you’d like. Great to see @Astro_127! I miss working with him! #GoodHuman #SpaceFriendsAreTheBestFriends

Type A people can be aggressive and highly competitive. Trusting others can be a challenge. But, for successful teams, it’s essential, says @DarrylCross. Check out these photo highlights from today’s @LMASouthwest #LMASW19 keynote. #legalmarketing

The only way to improve your mental and physical well-being is to collaborate and to utilize your teams. Our @DarrylCross and former astronaut @Astro_127 will talk about how it requires a shift in culture. See their #keynote at @LMASouthWest #LMASW19. legalmarketing.org/e/in/eid=…
