Do You Consider Yourself a Texan?
June 20, 2018
Did you know that 28.5714% of the partners at Foundry Group are Texans?
Recently, I was asked if I consider myself a Texan. I answered that I grew up in Texas, live in Colorado, was born in Arkansas, and went to school in Massachusetts. While I have a house in Alaska, I never lived there (thatâs where Amy grew up.)
I hadnât really thought about this before I answered the question. While Massachusetts was very good to me, I never felt at home living in Boston or Cambridge. I left Dallas 35 years ago (although my parents still live there.) I only lived in Blytheville for a year, although I just visited it with my dad a few months ago.
Iâve now lived in Colorado longer than anywhere else (22.5 years). But, Iâm occasionally told by people who have lived in Boulder for over 25 years that Iâm still a newbie. So, maybe Iâm a Texas for a few more years, although Amy says definitively, âYou are not.â
