When it comes to business, I keep my brand professional; I know that, from a business standpoint, I represent my employer as well as myself. While I like to keep a wall of separation between my public and private lives every wall has cracks where, what psychology calls "backstage behavior", becomes visible. Rather than patch those holes with mortar, I choose to cultivate what shows through.
A Google search will not reveal much about me (and that is by design) so here I invite you to peer through the cracks in my wall, to get to know me as a whole person - to see what family, friends, and close co-workers and colleagues get to see!
I have been a guest a few times on Roger Wilkerson's Do Not Listen to This Podcast show: unedited, uncensored, and unabashedly me! Roger can make me laugh out loud - and that is not an easy accomplishment. It is when I am laughing that I am at my most comfortable; if you can make me laugh, you will have found a door in my wall.
I have a few signature hashtags, but #mustlovedogs is the one I use the most. Dogs are loyal and loving to a fault; how you treat them tells the world about your character.
(Sidebar: I realize that #musttreatdogswithrespect is a more accurate tag, but it lacks the brevity and memorable branding of #mustlovedogs).
Ironically, I only own cats: a grey tabby ("Tabbie") who knows, without a doubt, that she is the center of the universe, and her littermate, a buff tiger ("Leo") who thinks he is a Labrador retriever...and Tabbie's Samwise Gamgee.
