I found something really fun in North Dakota’s Gateway to Science’s Einstein on Wine silent auction Friday night. Maybe only a former dairy person would think so, but I was still excited. Undeniably Dairy swag and a deliciously delightful copy of “The Dairy Good Cookbook” with several familiar faces. The best part is both myContinue reading “Udderly Scientific”

Beyond Brick and Mortar
Every once in a while, I get a project that’s really fun – not just because of the work, but because of the people I get to talk to. Agency MABU enlisted me to help Mayville State University create content that will build excitement for the renovation of its iconic Old Main building. For thisContinue reading “Beyond Brick and Mortar”
Partnering for Progress
If you’re fortunate enough to live by a river, then you’re familiar with the peace and tranquility it can bring to a community – especially if the riverfront remains largely untouched by industrial development. In sister cities Bismarck and Mandan in North Dakota, local partners like the Bismarck-Mandan Convention and Visitors Bureau (CVB) have bigContinue reading “Partnering for Progress”
Broadcasting Resilience
I must admit that when I was telling my elementary school-aged children a little about this cover story for Associations North, I had to do some extra explaining about what AM radio is. They, like many of their peers, prefer to stream most content on-demand. Side note: if you ever want to feel old, justContinue reading “Broadcasting Resilience”

Why Storytelling Matters in Effective Communication
Have you ever noticed how even the youngest children have a penchant for listening to stories? I can’t count the number of times my kids would select a pile of books, climb into my lap, and we’d read them one after another – or sometimes the same one over and over. What is it aboutContinue reading “Why Storytelling Matters in Effective Communication”
The Recipe for Success
It’s like any other high school sport: practicing five days a week, competing with other schools at the state level, and earning the chance to compete against other states at the national level. But the challenge is making a three-course meal with no running water or electricity. Thanks to Angie Whitcomb for collaborating with meContinue reading “The Recipe for Success”
The #1 Rule of Communication
If you’re like the average person these days, your inbox is flooded with messages. The most valuable emails are sent with thought and care from family and friends. Some aren’t particularly exciting but still important, like notifications for bills, insurance, appointments, or newsletters for organizations that we follow. Most emails, however, fall into the marketingContinue reading “The #1 Rule of Communication”
Join the Conversation for Food Allergy Awareness Week
How many people get to say they live under the same roof as their real-life heroes? My children are my heroes because it takes courage, strength, and resilience to navigate life with food allergies. As we recognize Food Allergy Awareness Week across the U.S., I’ve been reflecting on how grateful we are to be surroundedContinue reading “Join the Conversation for Food Allergy Awareness Week”
