Got me a bottle of Pappy for $375.
I gave it to a friend when he became a grandfather. He had been saving a bottle of pappy for the occasion for over ten years, but hit hard times and had to sell it before the occasion was imminent.
As luck had it I had an opportunity to buy a bottle of Pappy literally fall in my lap two weeks before his grandson was born.
I invited him over to toast his daughter with a bunch of close friends. Told him I had bought bottle of his favorite; Buffalo Trace for the occasion.
When the time came I brought out an nearly empty bottle of Buffalo Trace and said “dang, Someone must’ve got into it. I guess we’ll have to settle for this instead” as I handed himself the bottle of Pappy.

I have worked with Forbes top companies, for-profits, non-profits, & startups. I consider myself a solver of complex & complicated problems requiring mixed method research & novel solutions.

I’ve been project manager, data engineer, developer, modeler, analysts, principle DB developer, etc. Most of my w2 work has been from offers of 1099 clients so I am usually asked to define my own title. Any T-shaped data people who run into this?
