Okay, so they aren’t really shocking and they aren’t really revelations (just taking a stab at a tabloid-style heading). They are simply 8 random facts about me - The Lonely Marketer. I know this has been floating around the blogosphere for awhile now, but since Daniel Sitter of Idea Sellers tagged me I thought I’d take a break from marketing for one day and participate. So here goes - 8 completely random facts about me.

  • I met my wife in London, England during a semester of college at the University of London. Ironically, we were from the same college in St. Paul, Minnesota.
  • I was in attendance for Game 7 of the 1987 World Series when the Minnesota Twins defeated the St. Louis Cardinals. I remember every inning to this day and have been a huge baseball fan ever since. (and I fully support using tax payer money for a new Twins stadium)
  • My favorite magazines are Kiplingers, Money, Business 2.0, Sports Illustrated, Entrepreneur, and Fast Company.
  • Two of my favorite foods are tacos and sushi (and I grew up in Minnesota!).
  • The best series of books I’ve ever read is the Stephen King Dark Tower series. I’m excited for the day when I start them all over again.
  • Visiting baseball stadiums in other cities is a huge thrill for me. Next up is Shea Stadium in New York!
  • I once could do an extremely realistic loon call. Loons would actually call back - no joking! I know - very odd. (the loon is Minnesota’s state bird)
  • Blogging has completely changed my perspective on business and marketing.

I’ve seen so many people participate in this that I can’t imagine I’d be able to find 8 people to tag so I’m going to opt out of the tagging. But, if you’d like to jump in consider this a tag - I’d love to learn more about you!
