  • 1.  I'm new and love to learn

    Posted yesterday

    πŸ‘‹ I'm Dan, and I'm new to the AAM community. I live near Kalamazoo, Michigan (home to some great museums!) and work in marketing and CRM consulting. But I'm here to learn, and to help, not to sell. 

    A little about me: I'm a big fan of music and motorcycles. So my two favorite museums would probably focus on those subjects. I'm a blended family dad whose kids are now adults. My personal mission is to put more love into the world and help create a better space for everyone. Curiosity is my superpower. 

    I'd love to connect with folks and learn about your journeys into museums as a career. And also, how often do people ask you if your museum comes to life at night?

    Hi Dan, and welcome aboard! Three cheers for curiosity. I came to this profession shortly after the Earth cooled, and I've been connected to it via government/military threads the whole time. My background is in museum studies and the history of technology. And I love music too (my car is a 70s bubble so be time-machine prepped if you ever ride with me). As for the museum coming alive at night -- I have been asked that a couple of times, and we've traded on that theme to have "night at the museum" events. 

    Cheers,

    Doug

    Hi Dan and welcome! Thanks for the lovely intro - there are some great minds here, so you'll be in good company. The spirit of collaboration and groupthink that you'll find here is very representative of the museum field, so learning and helping are what we do here just like IRL!

    All the best!
