Ironfish Review: My First Experience in Property Investment

Ironfish Review: My First Experience in Property Investment

I have always been intrigued by the prospect of property investment, but my interest in pursuing this sort of investment strategy never seemed to be appropriately timed. When the real estate market took a downturn and there seemed to be a wealth of properties available for well below market value, I still had the bulk of my funds tied up in other investments. When I cashed in on those investments and began looking to re-invest my earnings elsewhere, the real…

Halden Zimmermann is a Truthworthy Friend and Mentor

Halden Zimmermann is a Truthworthy Friend and Mentor

I had another recent run in with my dear friend, Halden Zimmermann while going into downtown. Have you ever had a moment when you see someone you haven’t seen in awhile and you’re suddenly locked into an engaging conversation that seems to fast forward through time? That’s exactly what kind of connection Zimmermann and I have, no matter if we see each other every day or if it has been months or years since we have had our last run…

Halden Zimmermann Businessman With A Business Plan

Halden Zimmermann Businessman With A Business Plan

I’d like to take the moment to  give the spotlight to a special friend of mine whom I’ve known for about 10 years give or take.

How a Simple Training Change Led to a New Marathon PR

How a Simple Training Change Led to a New Marathon PR

I am usually pretty good about conducting thorough research on a new pursuit before diving headlong into it, but when I set out to train for a marathon I did so without looking into how to properly train. This was a mistake, as I wasted many miles on workouts that were not at all beneficial for the distance I was preparing to run. Since I had run cross-country way back in high school, I figured the workouts I had done…

On My Recent Rediscovery of the Joy of Gardening

On My Recent Rediscovery of the Joy of Gardening

Up until recently, I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the practice of gardening. My mother kept a garden in the backyard of my childhood home, and I used to thoroughly enjoy working in the dirt on weekends and caring for the array of fruits, vegetables and flowers we kept. In the time since then I have maintained little herb gardens strictly for cooking purposes, but for some reason I recently felt moved to prepare a few beds with the…

Hi! I’m Douglas Pitassi and I’m making this blog to express myself! I’m very expressive so expect excitement and experimental expletives! EXCELSIOR! That’s one of them, there!
