About

Hi, I'm Bart Kesner and thanks for dropping by!
Since receiving my MBA immediately following undergraduate school, my professional background consists of a variety of senior leadership roles focused on transformation management, customer experience, client relationships, and program/project management. Thanks to my parents and a well rounded upbringing, my personal interests run the gamut from sports, travel, arts, outdoors and technology just to name a few. I try to enjoy those things with my friends and family which includes my wife and daughters (and yes, dog!). |
Take a look around and feel free to reach out to me here. If you are curious why I started this site, you can find out in my Journal. Some of my most recent updates and plans for future posts can be found in the Spotlight below.

Traveling in 2025
Somehow we are already in the 4th quarter of the year. It honestly doesn't seem that long ago I had ushered in the New Year, planted spring flowers, or taken my daughter to college to begin her Sophomore year. While the days, weeks, months all start to blend into one I can't help but pause and see the leaves beginning to change color and fall (sometimes endlessly) into my yard.
But, before I buyout my local hardware store of their paper lawn and leaf bags I have to reflect on the trip I just came back from. I spent over 3 weeks in Germany with a little Switzerland and Amsterdam thrown in for good measure. I've never before thought to myself "Man, I can't wait to get back home" while on vacation, but I did on this one. Not because it wasn't fantastic. It certainly was. This was, however, the longest vacation I had ever taken and I really did start to miss the creature comforts of home. More on that later!
I do plan on updating this site with a lot of pics (I have over 1,300 to review/edit) and my travel thoughts so please stay tuned for that! In the meantime, here are a few snapshots of what's coming...

2024
Another year has come and gone. One might think it was pretty non-eventful if updates on this website was the barometer. Truth is, it was filled with highs and lows just like all the years that preceded it. And just like in those years I can choose to wallow in the tough times, revel in the joyous memories, or perhaps even better yet....live in this moment to better prepare myself for the year ahead.
That being said I can't help but reflect, if just for a minute, on the year that has passed. Here are just a few photos taken on trips this past spring and summer to Cancun and Barcelona. I'll try not to linger there too long as they'll be more highs and lows no doubt, but of course only one now.
