Polaris CEO and the odd confluences of life

  • So...interesting story. Working a project this weekend at the house of a guy from work, a senior Naval officer. Talking about the Slingshot, turns out he was roommates, or at least close friends, with the Polaris CEO, from their time at the Naval Academy. Enough so that the CEO was the guest speaker some time back at this guy's change of command ceremony.


    Flashback to two years ago, I was out of the Navy for a short time, trying to determine my path, and I was in negotiations with Amazon and Polaris each, looking at each of them as legitimate possible employment options following a series of job interviews....and then the Navy called and said, "Hey, do you want to come back?" And the rest is history, no regrets.


    But this little coincidence has me thinking, the squirrels just churning, and if I'm ever able to meet the man, in whatever capacity...I wonder what I'd say? LOL
