#### On my desk right now

Paper, paper, paper and the book *7 Measures of Success*

#### My favorite blog

*The Dish* by Andrew Sullivan

#### Who I’m following on Twitter

I am “Twitterless” at the moment.

#### What I do when I’m not at work

Work out, learn new things, and enjoy family and friends.

#### My 3 goals for 2012

1. Complete the Marine Marathon
2. Successfully launch the ASAE Foundation Innovation Grants Program
3. Learn how to tweet

#### The best advice I ever got

Don’t mistake activity for results.
