Generations are a big deal to me.

My father was a part of the GI Generation. I’m a Baby Boomer. My oldest son is a Gen Xer; my other three children are Millennials. Those kids married spouses of their generations, too. My first four grandchildren are digital natives of Generation Z; the next eight grandchildren are Generation Alpha, the first generation to be entirely born in the 21st century.

The age span between my father, me, my son, and his son is 27 years between each.

27gen is all about learning. We have a lot to learn from everyone around us – no matter the age.

2025 was a transition year for me in many different ways; 2026 continues that to some extent.

For here, for now, 27gen will be taking on a new identity with old friends.

I am in the process of moving all of my content from Guest Experience Design and First Place Hospitality here, so things will be a little messy for awhile. If you want to look around either of those sites, and I haven’t got those pages up on 27gen yet, let me know if you have a particular question – I can point you to a post or elsewhere.

I hope enjoy reading, and that you will stick around for the result!
