About

Greetings.  My name is Fred King.  Welcome to my blog.  I work as an Architect for a major financial institution in North America.  Throughout my career, I’ve led a variety of projects and teams and have learned a few things about what works and what doesn’t. 

With Effective Living Tips, I will be documenting the things that work most effectively for me in my life and at work while achieving work life balance.  This blog will serve 3 goals. 

First, it will help me to document the things I learn and the best practices that I come across for living and working effectively.  This is useful for me because it will serve as a journal so that I don’t forget the important lessons learned.  
 
Second, through this blog I hope to get feedback to the ideas I present to see if there are even better ways of doing things. 
Third, I am a fairly new father of my 2 year old son.  There’s a lot of things that I think I’ve gone through in this world that he has yet to discover.  Well, hopefully one day he will take the time to read this blog.  It will be a good way for me to impart some of my lessons learned throughout my life which I hope to be of value to him.  Hopefully with each post I will be able to pass on an extra tidbit of information that will help him in his life.
Outside of work, as mentioned I am a fairly new father of my 1 year old son and happily married.  I am an avid photographer, maintain a reef aquarium tank, enjoy collecting and tasting all sorts of wines and like to watch MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) from time to time. 
 
So, if you find this blog useful I hope you visit back often and/or subscribe to my feed. 
 
Cheers,
 
Fred
