Best time of the day.

When you run into the guy who took a chance and opened the door to a brand new career path for you. The OG best boss. 💙 Joel Johnson

When your firstborn son comes over to make you dinner that tastes like summer and the clouds outside your window remind you that miracles are real. #goodday

If my last post on this app before it goes away is to lift up my friend Jeremy Drucker then that’s good by me. An important step by the Walz-Flanagan administration to address MN’s addiction crisis and an incredibly good man to lead the work. mn.gov/governor/news/…

Favorite place to spend a January afternoon. 💙

Did I really just hear a state senator say “Ladies, come to your senses” when debating the PRO Act? What century are we living in? #mnleg #reproductivefreedom

Changed my life too! Working with the brilliant young leaders of the Minnesota Youth Council during my time Minnesota Department of Education reassured me our future is in good hands. 💙

From lavender skies to golden hour in less than ten minutes. #sundayvibes

It’s my last day at the Racing Commission. What a joy working w/ the fabulous team supporting/overseeing the industry that brings $450M in economic activity and promotes a key part of MN’s agri-business. Can’t wait to return to Canterbury Park and Running Aces as a fan this summer!

Hard to tell from this photo but the #Mississippi is rising fast. I just got notice I need to evacuate my parking garage tomorrow morning until the flood waters recede. #SaintPaul #flooding
