				<description><![CDATA[<p>I just got tagged by Phil Gerbyshak, from Slacker Manager . It&#8217;s part of a game going around the blogging community where you are asked to share six things that people don’t know about you.

<p>I just got tagged by <a href="http://www.slackermanager.com/2008/01/6-things-about-phil-gerbyshak.html">Phil Gerbyshak, from Slacker Manager </a>.  It&#8217;s part of a game going around the blogging community where you are asked to share six things that people don’t know about you.</p>
<p>So, here you go:</p>
<p>1) My wife and kids call me &#8220;Mr. coffee hour&#8221; because I&#8217;m nearly always the last person to leave social gatherings.</p>
<p>2) I like any movie with helicopters in it.</p>
<p>3) My worst job was being a security guard at a grocery store on the South side of Rockford, Illinois on one Christmas break from college.</p>
<p>4) I was president of the largest party group on campus and loved it.  The group was  the American Marketing Association chapter at Illinois State University (we had six hundred members and were nationally recognized as one of the best college chapters in America).</p>
<p>5) I love to read and write even though I&#8217;m dyslexic (decoding skills)</p>
<p>6) Most of the time, I&#8217;m the only male in our home&#8230;my wife Katie and I have two teenage daughters and our family dog is a female (that&#8217;s beginning to change as teenage boys stop by more often these days : ).</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s another: the picture above with my daughters is about as close as I&#8217;ll get to surfing.  Our camera wasn&#8217;t fast enough to capture my nanosecond of verticality on the waves!</p>
<p>Now, as to the rules of this game: You must:</p>
<p>1. Link to the person who tagged you.<br />
2. Post the rules on your blog.<br />
3. Share six non-important things/habits/quirks about yourself.<br />
4. Tag at least three people at the end of your post and link to their blogs.<br />
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.</p>
<p>So my next three are:</p>
<p>1. <a href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/">Seth Godin</a></p>
<p>2. <a href="http://robbiedevilliers.wordpress.com/2007/01/">Robbie de Villiers</a></p>
<p>3. <a href="http://wesroberts.typepad.com/wes/2006/06/index.html">Wes Roberts</a></p>
