Good ol’ Michael Wagner of the White Rabbit Group has apparently tagged me via his Own Your Brand! blog. In the 4 Things Meme, Michael says he hoped I would accept to do this because of my servant’s heart. When someone says that about you, how do you say no… without contradicting him?

Besides, it seems like an interesting exercise. So, if you care to find out a little bit more about me, read along.

Four jobs I’ve had:
Grocery bagger - my first job working at my grandparents’ grocery store: Staiger’s Grocery
Creating decorative ceiling tiles for the Federal Courthouse in Tulsa, OK
Creative Director for a Tulsa ad agency
Marketing Director for a Tulsa telephone company

Four movies I could watch over and over:
 The Natural
While You Were Sleeping (hey, it’s a cute movie)
The Bourne Identity
Clear and Present Danger

Four places I have lived:
Kellyville, OK (hometown)
Saltillo, Mexico (at a mission with parents at 2 years old)
Stillwater, OK (college)
Broken Arrow, OK (now)

Four TV shows I love to watch:
Alias (will they ever finish the final season?)
CSI
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition (I’m a sap)
Frasier reruns

Four places I have been on holiday:
London, England
Guatemala
Carribbean Cruise (highly recommended)
Branson, MO (about 25 times, so if you need a tour guide…)

I hope to visit Germany since it is the land of my ancestors. My wife and I think we’ll do a European tour in the next 5-10 years.

Four websites I visit daily:
Seth Godin’s Blog (shocker)
Tom Peters’ Blog & TP Wire (another shocker)
Business Week (they have great marketing and small biz info)
Acheivable Ends by Bill Kinnon (he speaks my language)

Four of my favorite foods:
Chicken Fingers
Enchiladas (my wife’s homemade version)
Congo Bars (homemade dessert)
Cannoli (hard to find in Tulsa)

Four places I would rather be right now:
Home, playing with my kids or talking to my wife
A large, family gathering (like Thanksgiving/Christmas)
OK State Football/Basketball game
An Apple Store

And four bloggers I am tagging:

Bill Kinnon, if he’ll accept, because (as I stated above) the guy speaks my language.

Jory Des Jardins, if she’ll accept, because of her authenticity and transparency.

John Moore, if he’ll accept, because he puts the wonka-wonka in “marketing wonk.”

Jennifer Rice, if she’ll accept, because she is one of the most cerebral and decisive young marketers I’ve ever met.

…and I’ll add one more list to this meme:

Four books I’d recommend
The Gift of Being Yourself, David Benner
Orbiting the Giant Hairball, Gordon McKenzie
Velvet Elvis, Rob Bell
Permission Marketing, Seth Godin
