On my desk right now

WAY too much paper, The Economist, the latest Associations Now

If I weren’t doing this, I’d …

… be a professional singer, or maybe a rock star.

What I do when I’m not at work

Work out (not nearly enough), do crosswords, and enjoy wine with my fiancé, Ken.

My 3 goals for 2013

  1. Get out of the weeds; be more strategic minded.
  2. Do more public speaking at association/nonprofit industry events.
  3. Read 12 or more books.

Who I’m following on Twitter

A bunch of ASAE peers, and for fun, Lady Gaga.

The best advice I ever got

Don’t be afraid to fail, because that’s when you really learn.
