I'm leaving Adobe.

After eighteen years, I'm walking out the door at the start of next month. Not because something went wrong - but because something else is pulling me forward.

I've written about transitions before. The restlessness that won't resolve. The question that keeps surfacing in prayer. The slow recognition that gratitude for a season doesn't mean you're meant to stay in it forever.

Now I'm living it.

The decision wasn't dramatic. It was quiet - the way most real decisions are. A growing clarity over months, confirmed in conversation with my wife and sons, and with trusted friends; tested in prayer; and finally spoken aloud. Once I said it, I knew it was true.

What's next? I'm building. Domus Formation - daily Catholic content for families, men, women, teens, and parishes. Ad Alta - formation for leaders navigating transitions like this one. The work I've been doing on the side for years is becoming the next thing.

But I'm not going to pretend I have it all figured out. I don't.

What I have is clarity about the direction - and enough courage to take the first step. That's what Ad alta means to me right now. Toward the heights. One step at a time.

I still have a few weeks left at Adobe. I'm wrapping up well, saying thank you to people who shaped me, and trying to leave things better than I found them. That matters.

And then - the climb begins.

If you're in a similar place - feeling the pull toward something you can't fully see yet - I'd love to hear from you. That's what this community is for.

Ad alta.
