First shipment

I figure my first blog should address what I’m doing here in this sliver of the webiverse. I’m an administrator in public education. I’ve been involved in leadership for much of my career. 

Without much intent -- perhaps by necessity because it was the work I was able to land — I have been the lead, or I have been part of the lead team, for startups, including TV shows, a film company, community boards, educational departments and programs, and whole schools. I’m not a millionaire due to this work but I make ends meet for my family. Often, I’ve failed forward, which I hope to be able to document for the opportunity to reflect on it. Other times I made it work, which has its own lessons. And I’ve also had some moments of legit success, which I hope to document and reflect upon as well. 

In essence, I have learned along the way, and I want to store it somewhere. Seth Godin’s The Practice reminded me shipping the work (publishing) keeps me honest. So, I’ll house my learning here. If it helps you in anyway, either as a what-to-do, what-could-you-do, or a what-not-to-do, great. 

The learning, and thinking, I post here will be eclectic, but my goal is to keep it tied to education. That is very broad. I like to have wiggle room.
