Awesome Bio

One of the best VC blogs that I follow is Bryce Roberts.  He always gives interesting perspectives on things and definitely not the typical VC.  I was reading a great post that he had yesterday, “Its not the size of your market, its what you do with it that matter” worth a read but what really caught my attention, which I had missed in the past, was his bio on the site:

I co-founded O’Reilly AlphaTech Ventures(OATV) with my partners Tim O’Reilly and Mark Jacobsen. I invest in things most VCs won’t. I don’t wear blue shirts and khakis. I work in the city and live in the mountains. I own more bikes than cars and more skis than bikes. I have a wife and 4 kids that my world revolves around.

What I really loved about his bio is the work/life balance that he stresses.  Over time I continue to realize the importance of this in success.  While working hard is critical, keeping in balance the necessary mix of work/exercise/family/etc. is almost more important.
