new site

Over the years, I've used a couple different methods to keep track of all my creative projects. 


I've had various lists on this site, and I've had various websites: one on blogger, one on wix. I liked having the sites, but the last one I had wasn't particularly satisfying. 

I suppose partly inspired by my previous hoagie central post, I made a new site. 


Dave Fymbo: Creative Director + Author + Human




Two things I'm particularly proud of are new subpages I made. 

The first is the Devastating Lobster Productions page. Collected all of our short films and videos in one spot. 

And the second is my travel photography page. I had a photography collection before, but I'm much happier with the new one, both in content and organization. 

And now that this site is live, it will be easy to add more pieces to it.

At Peace

When the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004 after an 86-year drought, Bill Simmons wrote a book called Now I Can Die in Peace. I was never a baseball guy, but the concept stuck with me. 

At now at age 40, I can look at the life I've built and say that I feel at peace. 

To recap, here's where I'm at:


married to the love of my life
granted the opportunity to be a dad to two wonderful boys
made a successful advertising career and achieved my lifelong goal of becoming Creative Director
made great friends in college and have been able to hang on to them
traveled the world including Hawaii, Italy, Greece, Jamaica, Argentina
saw the Chiefs win multiple Super Bowls and the Avalanche lift the Cup
saw Derren Brown in person and go on stage as part of the finale
seen all my favorite bands in person
made my soul happy by creating books, movies, music, podcasts and a cookbook


So what does this mean?

Two things. 

1. I've built a great life and I want to keep enjoying it. But tomorrow is not promised. If my time is up before I expect, I want everyone to know (including myself) that I'm at peace. 

2. I've built a great life and I want to keep enjoying it. While I'm sure that I will embark on new hobbies, visit new places, achieve new milestones...what I really want to focus on is savoring the life that I've created and not take any of it for granted.

Work Trip to Cleveland

In mid-May I took a quick 2 night work trip to Cleveland. Good food and good work.
