What the absolute [expletive] was that?!?

Grew up in the foothills of NC seeing these similar views daily on my drive to/from high school. Took them for granted then, but now look back quite fondly. Thanks for sharing.

EV trucks (sans cyber) are my weakness #slateev

Lemons to LEMONADE.

Over the winter an errant kitchen pipe at our Virginia Airbnb failed due to freezing temps (water was fully off but it found a way). Kitchen flooded when water was turned on for incoming guests.

But we’ve come back better and stronger with this reclaimed brick flooring ❤️

Morning after the US presidential election I got a trolling message from a MAGA high school classmate, giddy over the results. I ignored it. They’re employed as a sales manager for a car dealership (overseas brand) in my NC hometown. I sometimes wonder how these tariffs are impacting them.

Swinging through Charlotte to enjoy the ACC Tournament championship game with big bro driving up to UGA to join ❤️ Younger bro dropping by University of South Carolina later this week to check off a few things for fall freshman year.

On the way to Charlotte to see Duke/Louisville in the ACC Tournament championship game. Quick pitstop at Odell’s Sandwich Shop in my NC childhood hometown. Youngest son is now a fan of the iconic Big Moe. Now a whopping $5 (cash only) but still a mighty fine deal.

for a few hours this afternoon the ACC basketball tournament will remind me of being a kid in small town 80s North Carolina

Ready to watch this kid take flight ❤️

And just today I relayed admirable tales to a longtime coworker on the pros of working alongside quality industry professionals like Jess and Colin.

And I wish I had a more eloquent way to sum all that up. Industry shakiness sux. But the Campbells very much don’t.

I also recall a particularly fraught and frantic time in the history of BHG where Colin approached me with “Dave, what can I do to help us all get through this?” …and this was while a number of other talented colleagues had quickly exited to ready their portfolios and resumes.

To this day I relay the story to MICA Illustration student game-industry-hopefuls of the importance of showing up and confidently saying “if given the opportunity I’ll show you what I’m capable of”. And then I show your LinkedIn accomplishments.
