Naval Academy Classmate and BetterUp Account Executive Mark Rothschild

Racial Justice Campaign Director and Naval Academy classmate Kyle Bibby

Kyle Bibby thinks too much. Kyle and I graduated in 2007 from the United States Naval Academy. After graduation, Kyle served as a Marine Corps Infantry Officer for five years. After active duty, Kyle earned his Master's of Public Administration from Columbia University. Kyle is now the Deputy Political Director at Common Defense and just accepted a job at Color of Change, at organization that "designs campaigns powerful enough to end practices that unfairly hold Black people back, and champion solutions that move us all forward." Kyle lives in New Jersey.

Mark met his wife when he was stationed in San Diego and they now live in the Detroit, Michigan area to be close to his wife's family. They have four children together.

Running friend Ryan Witters

Ryan Witters thinks too much. I met Ryan while we both ran on the competitive running team The Georgetown Running Club, based in Washington DC. Ryan is from Evansville, Indiana and is currently a consultant at Aegis Project Controls in northern Virginia. Ryan is married and is expecting his first child in mid-December.

Childhood friend and Psychology Professor Amanda Almond

Amanda thinks too much. Amanda is a Psychology Professor at CUNY City Tech in Brooklyn, New York, where she also lives with her husband and daughter. Among other issues, Amanda and I talk about childhood in New London, Connecticut, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, becoming an adult, racism and micro aggressions, suicide prevention, and masculinity. At about 2 hours 15 minutes we perhaps begin to lose patience with one another, so stick around!
