Team SuperManners – An Illustrated Book for Preschoolers

Team-SuperManners-Cover

This year, I had a goal to write an illustrated kid’s book (while my kids were young enough to enjoy seeing themselves as characters in a book).

I’m happy to say that Team SuperManners, The Well-Behaved Adventures of Zander the Dog, Sweet Cheeks, and Baby Girl is finished and on Amazon in print and Kindle.

Jakob Bartels was the illustrator.  Jakob is a phenom.  At only 17 years-old, he was the designer of the crest for the USS Minnesota submarine.  My huge thanks to his father, Chris, who’s been our marketing consultant for over a decade.  Chris graciously volunteered his time to make this book a reality and once again made a project a ton better because of his involvement.

My Op Ed in the Star Tribune: Net neutrality matters

HTTP-PICHere’s the intro of my Op Ed that will run in tomorrow’s Star Tribune… “Like most small-business owners, I’m not a fan of big government. Free markets and a tough-but-fair competitive landscape in which the most agile and innovative players come out on top have allowed my company to thrive. So I’m the first to admit the irony of finding myself on the same side of a political issue as one of Minnesota’s more liberal U.S. senators and a large government agency to boot.”  Click to to read Net neutrality matters to Minnesota business.
