What are You Most Thankful for this Holiday Season?

I am happily married now 27 years. Lynn and I are blessed with three amazing children. As I reflect on the question, “What am I most thankful for?” the answer begins with family.

I am happily married now 27 years. Lynn and I are blessed with three amazing children. 

As I reflect on the question, “What am I most thankful for?” the answer begins with family. I’m thankful they are in good health, happy in life and challenged by their individual pursuits. I sometimes ask this question of my children: “Why did God put you on this earth?” I am thankful that each has a unique answer and that their answers and perspectives are evolving.

I am truly thankful that every member of my family is inspired, in their unique ways, to make a difference in the world. I am a first generation American. My Scottish grandfather, a Royal Navy man and ship builder, shared this perspective with me, “Keep the mind of an immigrant and remember to build and improve on what life has given you. Always try to make the world a better place”.

I am thankful for an amazing two years with Vestigo Ventures. The four of us make a great team. Our daily interactions with each other and our talented associates at Cogo Labs  are inspiring and fun.

The name ‘Vestigo’ comes from the Latin word to search and explore. I am thankful for our ability to search data, identify signals and find talented entrepreneurs who are set to change the world with their unique vision and technology skills. I am thankful for the hard work we do every day at Vestigo and the opportunity to create great returns for our partners through our financial services investments.

I am thankful for opportunities. The range of ideas we see every week span the financial system spectrum—from financial infrastructure to individual solutions with the potential to drive smarter, faster, cheaper and more eloquent savings and investment opportunities. I am thankful that my 30 years’ experience in the industry provides me and our team with unique insights to build and improve on our incredible financial services industry. Lastly, I am thankful to be able to share these insights!
