What’s vital to you?
Being present for my family, friends, and individuals that cross my life’s path unexpectedly. Life can behold mountain-top and valley moments but being available for each other makes life more meaningful.

What does vīdl mean to you?
Our lives are full of events, deadlines, and devices calling our day-to-day happenings. We often get so lost in our own agendas – we don’t take the time to pause and truly take in the essence of what is around us. Look at the people around you.  Who are they?  Where do they come from – and not in the sense of a state or country – but in their own personal life?  What kind of life do they live?  Are they content, scared, confused, joyful…? Vīdl is ever-changing to me. It is creating human connections in real-time – face-to-face social interactions. It is being there to hold your spouse’s hand as you navigate a tough doctor visit. Listening to your daughter’s heart as she processes through her first break-up. Reaching out to a friend whose mom had surgery and checking in on how things are going. Or simply looking at someone you have never met and smiling and greeting them to give their day a boost. Vīdl is about unleashing my packed agenda to meet people exactly where they are through authentic human connections.
