Adventure in Branson

Mar 04 2013
Sure, Branson is known for its live shows. With more than 50 theaters to choose from, I knew before I even stepped off the plane in this Missouri city that there’d be no shortage of entertainment options. But then one of my favorite things happened – a city surprised me. I had no idea I’d find a charming downtown and stellar shopping areas, not to mention the fishing charter I went on where I... read more

Gertrude Gets to Fly

Feb 18 2013
You could feel the anxiety in the air as we huddled around a crate in the lobby of Tampa International Airport.  Final preparations for boarding were taken care of, introductions were made, and the question we heard periodically was “How is she?”  All eyes would shift to the crate below.  Inside was an endangered Green sea turtle, Missouri’s first sea turtle, and a rescue –... read more

At Southwest, I have the pleasure of working on our Local Advertising Team.  We’re the ones responsible for taking our brand to each and every one of our more than 70 destinations across the country.  When I heard that our next big city initiative would be Milwaukee, I couldn’t contain my excitement!  Every city has its own special story, and I couldn’t wait to uncover Milwaukee’s... read more

Recently, all of the above came into play during a test where we connected the Southwest and AirTran networks in several markets... read more

Adventure in Austin

Feb 08 2013
This month, I made my way south to the live music capital of the world: Austin, Texas. Sure, seeing a couple shows was definitely on the agenda, but I wondered what exactly was I going to do when my ears needed a rest? My worries soon subsided once I realized I could mosey around an urban farm, hang out in a redesigned presidential library, and hit the trails on the Barton Creek Greenbelt.... read more
