I have two blogs - one professional and one personal.

DrivingTheConversation.com is a professional blog on changing paradigms - and outcomes - through the purposeful application of effective strategy, policy, and leadership.

RespectAndResilience.com is personal blog about life as a suburban father in North Carolina.
