This is the hardest part about any website… the About Me page. Like what am I supposed to write here, should I speak in 3rd person I feel like that makes you sound important and what about… you get the struggle.

On with it… my name is Nate Valentin. I am a 36 year old husband and father of 3 boys. My ‘real job’ is a technology executive but I also like to make stuff, think about things, write, make videos and take photos and occasionally even create websites, like this one. Phew… glad that is over.

Now if I am being totally honest, which is important for us to be friends, this is not my first time. It isn’t my second time either. I have done this before, several times and for whatever reason I end up taking it down. Maybe I was talking in third person or maybe the sheer vulnerability that comes with attaching your name to your thoughts on the internet for everyone and their mother to read is so deeply unsettling that I had to bring it down. Hmm… something to meditate on maybe.

Oh, and since we are friends now, I have other websites; or HAD other websites. Part of this project is to consolidate the content from various sites into this one bc, well, they are all my thoughts and I want to be able to focus on one thing (that theme will be revisited often on this site).

The plan is to share what I know while I develop my ability to articulate my ideas and then learn more things and the cycle continues…

So, let’s get going…
