This site is for the “average Joe” wishing to become the “above-average Joe”. It is intended for those who are interested in becoming more than they are with the intent of providing higher value to those currently around them and to future generations. It’s for those who are playing the long game. If this sounds like you, welcome to a group of individuals that values the marriage between learning and action. We simply want to be more than we are. We will learn from a wide range of subjects so that we can:

1. Have a balanced life

2. Be more effective leaders for our family

3. Be better members of our community

4. Foster the next generation to do the same.

We’ll learn our lessons from history, literature, and personal experience. We will look at what others have said about their experiences and how they overcame obstacles. We will voluntarily take on more, not to have more, but so that we can DO more and BE more.
