To have known Chuck was to be profoundly impacted by him.

“Social media today has literally transformed the way we interact with each other. We’ve all seen it. We are staring at our phones more, even in the presence of each other at gatherings. Yet we seem to have an insatiable appetite to know what those around us are thinking. Just look at how we scroll through Facebook. Even a contractor I was talking with recently said, ‘I hope the next president we elect tweets like this one, because I want to know what’s on the president’s mind every day.“

These were the words of Chuck Jakway, who founded this blog as a space to share his thoughts and reflections. Though he is no longer with us, his insights and conversations continue to resonate. In that spirit, we carry this blog forward, offering a place to share what’s on our minds, just as he once did.
