Currently employed by Cumberland Goodwill EMS, I am a communication and collaboration guru. I have deployed social networking strategies in a nonprofit setting and increased the collaborative power of my current employer. I reside in the beautiful Borough of Carlisle, where I serve on the Parks and Recreation Department board. I have a Bachelors of Arts in Political Science from Saint Vincent College and a Masters of Arts in TransAtlantic Studies from Jagiellonian University (Krakow, Poland). I am multi-talented with a learning orientation and developed this site to help myself showcase my current skills and experiment with new ones.

Awesomely Bad Car

There has got to be a better way to prevent this!

This post is inspired by true events. I just happened to be sitting around and heard a car alarm go off, so I decided that since I had not updated the blog in a while (too long in fact), I should go ahead and write down a post.

This is that post.

I want to come right out and say that car alarms are useless. I realize that they had a time and once served a purpose, however that time has long passed. A car alarm is largely ignored by, well, everyone. Think of the last time you heard one go off. You probably went through one of the following reactions. 1) I hope it’s not mine. 2) I wish that idiot would shut off his alarm. 3) Who bumped what car. I have yet to encounter someone who heard a car alarm go off and went “Holy Crap, I need to call the police right now!”

It really makes you stop and appreciate just how huge of an impact one individual’s dedication can make. Continue reading »

Yes, I really was on C-Span

It’s no secret that I have always had a thing for Politics. So much so that my BA is in Political Science. I’ve been a Democrat and a Republican, all the while enjoying the thrill of the political process. The picture is a screencap of myself speaking in favor of President George W. Bush’s speaking at our College’s graduation. My speech weighed both the pro and con side and came out saying that what’s really tearing us apart is our willingness to grasp on to drama and ignore the community ties that bind our small little campus. I thought it was a good speech, I wound up getting to meet President Bush when he came, and I can officially say I’ve been on C-Span… how cool is that?
