  1. I like this clear and concise single paragraph bio-sketch. Although the output is simple, did you have trouble deciding what was important and what was not? I have several bio-sketches in different categories. Thus far, I would have trouble deciding what to include in a single paragraph. What was your approach on this issue?

  2. First off, I must have written this six or seven times until I got what I wanted. I thought it important to convey experience (hence the pioneer term). Accomplishments and where I worked was next. Then I went for eduation since that makes it current. There are so many different ways you can do this. The trick to the assignment was to get the most information out using the fewest words.

  3. Jeff, great-bio-sketch. I went for the same approach with writing mine in the 3rd person. I tried to put myself into the frame of mind of someone else was writing the bio-sketch for me who knows me well. I found this assignment to be difficult. I am not great about talking about myself, especially bragging.
    This bio-sketch by including your accolades and employers seems like I would be reading it on a book cover or DVD jacket from your latest work. Great picture too.
