These things are true:

1

I fell flat on my back one second after this photo was taken.

2

I once shared the ice with a Olympic figure skater while wearing nothing but skates, spandex, and an enormous McDonald’s fry box.

3

I am a firm supporter of bike lanes, renewable energy, and the oxford comma.

4

I can turn almost any meal into a sandwich.

5

At age five, I picked up pretty rocks by the road and sold them at a stand in the driveway - because selling lemonade was “dumb” (I think that’s how a five-year-old says “roadside beverage-service is a saturated market, Mom”) .

6-8

I can present complex ideas to clients in big meetings with perfect clarity.

A personal anecdote related to friends in a bar—that’s sometimes a different story.

The difference is preparation.

9

I’m fairly particular about my typefaces and my whiskey.

10

Some people get their best ideas in the shower. I get mine in the saddle of my bike.
