I believe it is time for me to begin a new chapter in my life by spending more time with my family and exploring new opportunities here at home in Arkansas.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
For me, family is life. The decision to start one wasn't complex at all. My career has been wonderful, but it's not my life. I don't feel pressure to get back to work.
Family is becoming more and more important to me.
My life is an ongoing, ever changing adventure.
I look forward to a lot more free time, at least initially, with my wife, Lisa, and our three children.
And so much of my life has been about returning home and longing for home, wanting my children to know about my roots. And I thought I can't be the only one to feel this way so I thought it would be an interesting topic to explore.
I feel like my life is pretty much on display. So much of it is working, and that's really all I want to do. I'm an open book.
The thing I love is that my home life hasn't changed. I still help out with the garbage. I still help out with the lawn.
Now I'm starting, relatively, to think straight again. I live one day at a time, one hour at a time. What makes it all worthwhile is my children.
I am focused on the work that the people of Arkansas sent me to do.
I am excited to run in the community where my wife and I work, where my daughters graduated and my son attends high school, where my family goes to synagogue, and where I have spent so much time working for and with the people of South Florida.
