Ice breakers are for summer camps and polar bears.

And yet, they’re important.

So since we don’t know each other yet, here’s a small peak from my perspective.

My favorite “professional” saying is “growing organic followers on social media is like running a marathon through mud…”

For the rest, you’ll have to buy me a coffee.

Beautiful works of art paired perfectly with a blue-collar can-do attitude.

I love that I’m a Yinzer and I’ll be sure to let you know about it.

Yes, Yinz and Gumband and Slippy and Nebby and Jaggoff and Red Up are all made up.

So is every word though.

It’s been a tough time for Deke’s Fandom. The Steelers, the LA Lakers, Manchester United, the Pirates…

Thank GOD for the Penguins, and don’t get me started about LeBron James.

Atlanta, Because The Internet, STN MTN Kauai, Clapping For The Wrong Reasons, Lando Calrissian.

If you haven’t watched Guava Island, do yourself a favor.

Speaking of Lando, I’m a firm believer that all of the Star Wars movies are watchable.

Rogue One is also arguably top 3 in the saga.

Do what you have to do to do what you love to do.

I told you I was a sucker for a good saying.

Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, gravy, wine, cranberry sauce, football, another glass of wine, pie, cake, ice cream, another football game, the uncle already asleep on the couch.

It’s a masterpiece.

Someone once said “Ew” when I told them I drink my coffee black. I never understood why people drink something they cover with three packs of Splenda and five pumps of Caramel.

To each their own.

I’m a very positive individual and fortunately, I’ve found what recharges my battery of optimism.

Growing up is learning what makes you happy and knowing what to do when you aren’t.

I understand the reasoning for doing it instantly.

There’s just something nostalgic about stretching the process out a few hours.

Not all ideas need to spawn from ridiculous situations, but I’ve found it helps the creative process.

Think Ridiculous, Explain Professionally.
