About Me

Terry Starbucker I’m a native Midwesterner now living on the East Coast, spreading “realistic optimism” through a philosophy I call “Half-Fullism“. I’ve been in the business world for over 27 years in various leadership positions, most recently as a senior operations executive for a service business based in the Rocky Mountain west.

I am a constantly learning student of leadership, and am happy to share my ideas, experiences and knowledge through this blog (see the “Leadership” category)

I love to travel out to the Rockies and those mountains and wide-open spaces – particularly to the National Parks that dot the area.

I also have a love of learning through the printed word, and I regularly review books (see the “Half-Full Book Review“) and comment on current business news (”The Business Pages“), primarily from the NY Times.

Music is a great love of mine – my i-Pod is about 5,000 songs strong, and I never travel without it. Music functions as a “soundtrack” to my life, providing strong markers that I associate with memories and experiences.

I look at life as a continuous journey of personal development, so I also write about the road I have taken and how “Half-Fullism” serves as my guide.

If you want to dig a little deeper, take a look at my “About This Blog” page for a lot more “onion peeling”, but here’s a quick look at where I’m coming from (otherwise known as my “Crash Davis Belief Statement”):

“I believe in the incredible potential of the human spirit, the vast underappreciated beauty of the earth, my wife’s smile and the love that radiates from it, long hugs and soft kisses, weddings and butterflies, honesty and courage, incurable optimism, the men and women in the arena, movies that make me laugh and cry at the human condition, the Green Bay Packers, downward dogs, a fine hot grande latte, the warmness of friendship, the spirit of SOBCon, vanilla ice cream, Elton & Bernie, the Grand Tetons, common courtesy, melodies I can’t get out of my head, amazing grace, Mom & Dad & my two sisters, servant leadership, government above hypocrisy, the daily grind, deep cleansing breaths, the power of dreams, the incredible wisdom of my grandmother, E=MC², and God and the Golden Rule.”
