Who is Andrew Weaver?

First things first, I refuse to write this in the third person. Now that we have that rule out of the way, let us carry on.

By day, I’m a mild mannered unicorn working in a balloon factory (read Seth Godin’s book Tribes to understand that reference fully). By night, I am constantly working on my passion for writing and photography.

I currently live and work in the small town of Joplin, Mo. Where is that? Google it and weep.

What is Leave It To Weaver?

Leave It To Weaver is a work in progress, so I hope you’ll pardon the mess. It is my goal to provide a blog that is mildly inspirational, insanely useful, and wildly entertaining all wrapped up into one big ball of fun here on these series of tubes. I write mostly on business related topics, but occasionally delve into social media and other topics such as leadership.

I enjoy highlighting great photography. I want Leave It To Weaver to be a visual candy of sorts.  This is not a photo blog that promotes just some of my work. I share other photographer’s work on the posts and always provide a link back to their site. The Foto Finish Friday feature is just one way I try to call attention to some extraordinary photos I come across from time to time. Besides, it’s a great way to end the week!
