6. What’s your full-time job? My full-time job is being a lawyer, with most of my work involving businesses and real estate in a dozen counties in Southwest Missouri.

9. What’s been your biggest blogging success? My blogging successes are rare and small things, like links to my blog and unexpected mentions in other blogs. I have had a few new clients mention that my blog posts made them feel confident about choosing me to assist them with a real estate transaction.
10. What’s your favorite local blog? Why? My favorite local blog is hard to designate. Half Past Awesome and Our Crooked Tree make me laugh. Rhetorica and Changing Journalism make me think. I usually learn something from Blog Noble, though new posts are not frequent.
