Heads up: this content is over 5 years old, so some information may be out of date.

My three goals for 2015

1. Leave work at work.

2. Experience more of the city I live in.

3. Learn about three subjects that have nothing to do with my day-to-day.

On my desk right now

Sales kits from a recent site visit, Nerd Know-How Collectors Cards by Beth Ziesenis, Batman figurine to remind myself to “Be the Batman” on a daily basis

The best advice I ever got

You can’t do everything (even though you are going to want to), so ask for help when you need it. It’s not a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of a leader.

If I weren’t doing this, I’d …

…probably work in radio, namely for my love of undiscovered bands. I started in radio and still enjoy keeping up with that industry.

My media mix

Whine About It Wednesdays Tumblr, Working at a Non-Profit Tumblr, “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” by Starship
