About
The Person Behind the Name
Hello! I’m Stephen Walsh, and if you’ve found your way here, you’re likely looking for a mix of professional insight and a bit of real-world perspective.
I started connectwithawalsh.com as a space to share what I’ve learned throughout my life—the wins, the hard lessons, and the “aha” moments. But as this site has evolved, I’ve realized that you can’t truly separate the professional from the personal. Who we are at home influences how we lead, create, and solve problems at work.
What You’ll Find Here
This site is a reboot of sorts. It’s a home for both personal and professional thoughts, but you’ll also see a glimpse into the hobby side from time to time.
- The Personal Side: Reflections on faith primarily, but also the chaos of daily life, and the lessons learned outside of the office. #personal
- Professional Insights: Thoughts on software engineering, business, strategy, and the things that keep me curious. #professional
- The Wiki: As an avid hunter and fitness enthusiast, this is the “what do you use and why” section. #wiki
Why “Connect with a Walsh”?
The name is simple because the mission is simple. In a world of automated responses and AI-generated noise, I believe there is immense value in human-to-human connection.
Whether we’re discussing a business challenge or sharing a hunting story, the goal is to leave this page feeling a bit more encouraged and informed than when you arrived.
“Connection is why we’re here; it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.” — Brené Brown

I’m glad you’re here for the this journey. Whether you’re here for the professional tips or the other updates, I’d love to hear from you.
