Me:
– My God & creator, who has blessed me with this life and all its ups and downs to get me to exactly where I am today
– My Proverbs 31 wife of 31+ years, who works part-time and runs her own custom cookie business (https://lnkd.in/ejWS3SGE)
– My special needs son, who is excelling in his job, making his own money, and maturing
– My daughter, who graduated college, got engaged, and just got her first “big girl” job
– My future son-in-law, who worships the ground my daughter walks on, has more guns than me, and can fix anything
– My job, which is not as *sexy* as owning the largest indoor shooting range in Atlanta, but enables me to use my gifts and work with a great and talented small team
– My GSDF brothers, who hold me accountable, run me ragged, and make me a better leader every day
– My dog, Briscoe, who thinks I am much better than I really am
– America’s military, who stand up and say, “Not on my watch!” and put their lives on the line for our nation
– America, the greatest national experiment in history!

What are you thankful for TODAY?

  • Social Media Strategy Class Recap

    I’ve written before about how we learn more when we teach something.  Last night’s Social Media Strategy Mapping class at General Assembly was no exception for me.  I always learn from those whom I am supposedly teaching, and that is a very good thing.
