Dad Starts Wednesday!
« Hey! You at Volkswagen, Stop Reading My Blog & Go Fix Your Web Site! | Main | WOMMA First Impressions »
My Dad, Dan Galloway starts his new job as City Manager of Stillwater, Oklahoma on Wednesday. Stillwater is the home of my alma mater, Oklahoma State University. This is quite cool and I'm very proud of him and I'm looking forward to visiting the old stomping grounds.
He has previously been City Manager for Bethany, Clinton and Owasso (all in Oklahoma). He worked for a short stint at the Army Corp of Engineers in Tulsa. He was a Resource Planner for the Upper Mississippi River Basin Commission before that. And with the Southwestern Illinois Metropolitan Planning Association Commission before that. He taught High School in his home town Pleasant Hill, Illinois while finishing up his Master's degree in Urban Planning or some such - this was right around the time I came to be so I'm a little fuzzy on the details - but it was from a state university in Illinois, I believe.
My Dad is brilliant and everyone I've talked with that has worked with him professionally says wonderful things - nicer than what's required.
Anyway, lot's of folks have ended up here after Googling him lately so I wanted to write a bit about him. If you live in Stillwater, don't worry, you're getting the real deal.
Good luck Dad! Oh, and be sure to stop in at Cooper's Bicycle Center and tell Mary that I said hi!
