Dorky. Cliched. True.

This election cycle has had a special place in my heart because of all the creative, smart people I’ve met along the way. As glad as I am that the United States elected Barack Obama, no matter the outcome it’s meant so to me both professionally and personally to have met people like Bob Cesca, Cliff Schecter, Ben Relles, Adam McKay, Andy Cobb, Arianna Huffington, Peter Koechley, Josh Marshall, Robert Greenwald and many many more. Even more important, the election allowed me to reconnect with old friends like Alan Bernhoft, Tracy Santos, Maryscott O’Connor, JD Walsh and others who all had the same hope for our country.

Great things are ahead.
