Welcome!

As an export consultant, I help businesses to navigate export regulations and policies, including those of the Departments of State, Commerce, and Treasury.

After seven years at the Department of State in Washington, D.C., I left the hustle, bustle, and underwhelming mid-Atlantic winters for the windswept prairie of South Dakota, on the ridge where the West commences. We have seven months of winter, five months of gardening, and Christmas lights usually come down by Easter.

The blog feeds below are for a few side projects. Observant Observations seeks to present overlooked or generally misunderstood issues and ideas, while tidbits of life on the prairie as well as news and commentary from around the world can be found at the more general To the Prairie and Beyond!
