My Story So, here is my story, I have no earthy college degrees, a couple of French courses short. I have been a very good golfer, basketball player, small town boy, six time winner of greased pig contest, big city man, businessman, interstate highway drifter, high and low plains America adventurer, self-indulgent, distant father, auto-didactic, Ivy Leaguer, scholar, student, lost soul, historian, art historian, musicologist, poet, poetry aficionado, business writer, economist, “Blizzard of One” broadband “David” to high speed Internet “Goliaths,” Internet Open Access champion, practical environmentalist, energy efficiency expert, member of Chicago Climate Exchange, 3-times matrimony loser, lobbyist, technology theorist, Bakken Basin podcaster, energy practical, political advocate pain in the ass and all around gadfly simply… because I was self-appointed. It's so much easier, now that I confessed. Steve Heins
