Question: What kind of "team spirit" do I bring to my employer?

Response: I successfully and repeatedly lead teams of City employees in various athletic competitions [5k runs, track meets, fitness festivals, etc.] against other public and private sectors employers in metro Dallas. In one particular event, I ultimately persuaded the City Manager, Charles Anderson, who was not a runner, to run anchor in response to a one-mile relay challenge from another local municipality. I personally guaranteed the City Manager that he would have at least a quarter-mile lead and, yes, my team delivered!

The City Manager literally walked across the finish line, very relaxed and proud of his team of City employees!  In the photo above, the City Manager is noticeably dressed in a suite and tie, and that's me in the middle - surrounded by employees from Fire, Finance, Water, Police, etc. By the way, we also demonstrated the City's public commitment to health and fitness and pride about our place of employment.
