I notice what other people walk past. That's not a skill I developed, it's just how I'm wired. More than thirty years of running operations, building teams, and starting things from scratch has given that instinct a lot of material to work with.

I've managed bars and bike shops, run a territory the size of three states and founded a cycling event that outlasted my involvement and inspired thousands of others. The work has been different every time. The way I move through it hasn't.

If something's broken, I can usually see where. If something's worth building, I'll make sure it happens.
