Greetings from Scottsdale

I’d like to thank Ryan for offering me this wonderful opportunity to co-author his blog.  I hope to make insightful, entertaining, or educational posts written in grammatically correct English.  I’ll try not to embarrass Ryan, my parents, or Columbia Business School, but I can’t make any promises.  Still, that rules out most of the options for what I like to write about, so the majority of my contributions may be photographs of landscaping around Scottsdale and the rest of Arizona.

“If I’d written the truth I knew for the past ten years, about 600 people—including me—would be rotting in prison cells from Rio to Seattle today. Absolute truth is a very rare and dangerous commodity in the context of journalism.” — Hunter S. Thompson
