Each year, I like to write a short post for the New Year. Turns out my last one was in 2019 and I didn’t write one for 2020. We all know how that went, so I figured it was probably in the world’s collective interest for me to write a post for 2021. 🥳

I think we can all safely say that 2020 did not go how any of us planned. When we started my new company Finta, we certainly did not anticipate doing so during a global pandemic. When Colleen went into labor with our first child, I had certainly not expected to be kicked out of the delivery room. It has been a wild year. Even with all the unpredictable events of 2020, when I look back on the year, I think there is still a lot of beauty to be seen.

We welcomed Siena into our lives, and I can honestly say, fatherhood was hands down my favorite part of 2020. Watching her explore and learn about the world around her is fascinating to experience. And the smiles she gives us are pretty epic too!

This year we spent a lot more time with family, immediate and extended. Taking a small step back from the constant grind of work & meetings to find a more stable work-life balance is something I am very grateful for this past year.

Speaking of work, we put our heads down at Finta this year, talked to hundreds of founders, and built, built, built product! I am incredibly excited about where we have arrived with the company (and where we plan to go)!

2020 was a year of change for sure. Change that I feel confident has set a strong foundation for 2021. A year which I am looking forward to quite a bit!

I wish you and your family a happy, healthy, and fortunate new year! Thank you so much for being here, and I look forward to sharing some of the exciting work going on behind the scenes, with you very soon! - Kevin
