My Friend Scott, Rest In Peace Brother

This blog is about technology, social media, marketing and all of that stuff, and I rarely write anything about my personal life here.  However, all of that is just that…stuff.  It’s my work, and although I’m deeply passionate about it, it isn’t my life.  My life is made up of friends and family, relationships, memories, common joys and sorrows and the hope of the future.

I woke up this morning to the incredibly devastating news that one of my best friends, Scott, had died last night in a plane crash.  He loved to fly and was an incredible pilot who was happiest at about 10,000 feet in his favorite little plane,  November Four Yankee Hotel.  Although I moved out of Oregon a couple of years ago and haven’t had much face time with him, I saw him just a week ago when he made a surprise visit and stood with me on Malibu beach.  We stood barefoot in the sand, laughed, talked and caught up.  That time will now be burned in my memory.
