Chase Kregor v28.0

Inspired by Brad Feld’s birthday posts, and last year’s post, I thought I would make my own.

Work

27 was a really weird year career-wise. I navigated some tough career decisions all during COVID.

I am now working at a value-based healthcare startup. My role is the perfect mixture of business and technical skills right now. I can truly say I am at my dream job. I wish I would have joined a startup sooner. I love that it’s growing my technical skills and teaching me how to analyze and communicate different healthcare deal structures. Looking forward to potentially managing people in the future.

Play

Some highlights from 2021:

  • Archery elk hunt in the fall in which I came within 20 yards of two bull elk and even closer to a bear, unfortunately. Not getting one of those elk is going to bother me all year.
  • Spent the 4th of July camping at Twin Lakes with Abby. A memory I will never forget
  • I ran at least 1 mile a day for 126 days in a row.
  • The first year I have ever legitimately gotten into running.
  • Went snowshoeing for the first time with Abby in Breckenridge
  • Went spring Turkey hunting and missed a turkey with my bow.
  • I grew ~50 tomatoes this Spring! Gardening is AWESOME!
  • Abby and I threw a Toure de France party which was a blast
  • Hiked a 14er with Abby (her first 14er!)
  • Went to Yosemite, it genuinely lives up to the hype.
  • Did an overnight elk scouting trip with Abby. I am so lucky to have a partner that supports my hobbies.
  • Got more into hiking this year.

Abby

I proposed to Abby and she said yes. It is the proudest accomplishment of my life. Now planning a wedding.

Time

Lost my last grandparent this year. You have a lot less time than you realize. Try to make today and every day after it count.

Goals

  • Get married in 2022.
  • To consistently and simultaneously work out AND work at my job very hard. In the past, I have done one of these things very well sacrificing performance on the other. This year I really want to focus on optimizing the two of these areas of my life.
  • Learn more about personal finance and what it means for me
  • Explore the topic of leadership, reading about great leaders throughout history.
