- His recent move Idaho, the new beach volleyball hotbed (we kid)
- His book, Dark Blood, and the year and a half that went into writing it
- His plans for beach volleyball, and how he will still be pursuing a full-time international and domestic career on the FIVB and AVP tours
- New Coach Your Brains Out projects with his longtime partner and fellow good guy, John Mayer
- Much more
