Welcome to Rethink 40. Here, we explore the reflections, challenges, and opportunities that come with turning 40 (and beyond)—navigating careers, family, and life’s changing priorities. Whether you're looking for clarity, growth, or just a little inspiration, you’re in the right place. 

About Me

Hi, I’m a married father of 2, and like many of you, I find myself at a crossroads. As I approach 40, I’m navigating one of the most challenging yet pivotal stages of my life. For the past few years, I've been living with my wife, two boys, and mother-in-law, after pressing pause on our dreams of owning a home. The housing market just didn’t and stil doesn't make sense, and instead of forcing the issue, we chose to wait—though the decision hasn’t been easy and we are tested daily with news of new homes hitting the market.

At the same time, I’ve found myself questioning my career path and myself as a man. As someone who’s spent years working in sales-centric jobs, I often wonder if this is what I want to spend the rest of my life doing. The pressure to get it right—to make sure the next step is the right one—is something I wrestle with every day. Will I feel immense regret on my deathbed, wishing I had spent my days doing something I enjoyed? The fear of making the wrong decision, combined with the self-doubt that comes with turning 40 and feeling like I have accomplished nothing, has been a constant companion. And yet, here I am, rethinking, reflecting, and searching for clarity.

Rethink 40 is my space to process these struggles, but it’s more than that. I knwo that there has to be others out there that feel this way. It’s my hope that this blog becomes a community where we can support one another as we face the complexities of midlife. Here, we’ll explore the big questions—about career, purpose, family, and everything in between. My goal isn’t just to share my story, but to help you find inspiration, clarity, and maybe even some answers along the way.

So whether you're feeling lost, uncertain, or just curious about what this next chapter holds, you’re not alone. Together, we can rethink, reflect, and redefine what life at 40—and beyond—can be.

Let’s figure this out, one step at a time.
