Hey there! I'm John Hayes, and I'm on an exciting journey from work to retirement. I'm all about embracing new adventures and personal growth and enjoying the freedom to shape life on my own terms. After years of planning and preparing for this transition, I'm discovering that retirement isn't just about leaving work behind; it's about stepping into a phase filled with purpose, exploration, and fulfillment.

I stay active and engaged from the tennis court to the backcountry trails, always looking for the next challenge. Whether I'm diving into a great book, creating art, or focusing on personal development, I thrive on continuous learning and self-improvement. Retirement has given me the time and space to reflect, grow, and fully enjoy what brings me joy.

Through this space, I hope to share insights from my retirement journey—the planning, the transition, and the unexpected lessons along the way. Let's connect if you're curious about what retirement can look like beyond the traditional mold!
