It\u2019s an interesting situation where two cities form one metropolitan area, but the area spans two states. Technically, I grew up in Moorhead, so I\u2019m a Minnesotan. Yes, people there really do say things like &#8220;you betcha&#8221; and &#8220;<a title=\"Uff Da\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Uff_da\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uff da<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>I\u2019m inspired by\u2026 <\/strong><br \/>\nScience, and fiction, and science fiction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My guilty pleasure is\u2026.<\/strong><br \/>\nHow I Met Your Mother. (I read ahead.) Actually, TV in general. I make a lot of slightly outdated pop culture references (mostly to The Simpson\u2019s seasons 1-10 and Seinfeld), but I\u2019m also completely addicted to a bundle of more recent shows, like Game of Thrones and Mad Men.<\/p>\n<p><strong>An uncommon fact about me\u2026 <\/strong><br \/>\nThe first published copy I ever wrote appeared in my city\u2019s newspaper when I was 12 years old, after I won a contest asking students to create an advertisement for a local bank. I did the art for the ad as well. I ended up building a career around writing, but my drawing ability hasn\u2019t improved much over the past couple of decades.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite bookstore in New York City is\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is a tough one. It depends on what I\u2019m looking for. My favorite used bookstore is <a title=\"Unnameable books\" href=\"http:\/\/www.yelp.com\/biz\/unnameable-books-brooklyn-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Unnamable Books<\/a> in my neighborhood. To browse what\u2019s new I\u2019ll stop in at <a title=\"Greenlight Bookstore\" href=\"http:\/\/greenlightbookstore.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greenlight Bookstore<\/a>. If I\u2019m not really sure what I want, I\u2019ll head to <a title=\"The Strand\" href=\"http:\/\/www.strandbooks.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Strand<\/a>, because they have everything.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My favorite episode of How I Met Your Mother is\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nThat one where Ted tells a funny story that has very little to do with how he actually met their mother. (But if I actually had to pick, I think I\u2019d say the one where the gang sets up rules for becoming \u201c<a title=\"HIMYM-Real New Yorker\" href=\"http:\/\/gawker.com\/5662106\/how-i-met-your-mother-on-what-makes-a-real-new-yorker\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a real New Yorker<\/a>\u201d and they all race to see Woody Allen eating at a restaurant downtown.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Since working at UncommonGoods I\u2019ve learned\u2026 <\/strong><br \/>\nThe importance of <a title=\"TAGFEE\" href=\"http:\/\/moz.com\/blog\/what-we-believe-why-seomozs-tagfee-tenets\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TAGFEE<\/a> (Transparent, Authentic, Generous, Fun, Empathetic, Exceptional) and the value of working on a team that believes in the power of those tenets.<\/p>\n<p>Also, through working on this <a title=\"uncommon personalities\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uncommongoods.pro\/blog\/\/tag\/meet-us\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Uncommon Personalities<\/a> project, I&#8217;ve learned how interesting and funny my co-workers really are.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Would you rather\u2026never get to shop on the Internet again OR only get to express yourself in 140 characters or less for the rest of your life?<\/strong><br \/>\nI can be pretty wordy, so I think I\u2019d have to go with not shopping on the Internet.
