A Beer with John Kerry
Of course he has a plan for Iraq, terrorism, health care, and the economy. But does he have a personality? Michael Hainey catches the senator on the stump in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and puts him to the ultimate test
We all know the problem with John Kerry—the personality disorder. Could this guy seem any more like an Audio-AnimatronicsTM creation ready-made for the Hall of Presidents at Disney World? Before casting my vote this November, I had to find out for myself if he's as stiff as we all seem to think.
So it was that I met Kerry at All Stars Sports Bar Grill in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, late in the afternoon of July 4 for a few beers. What better way to get a man to reveal his true character? But that's not all I had come for. There was the unresolved matter of a strange encounter he and I had outside a New York City men's room a year and a half ago....
**Great to meet you, Senator. **
Sure. Love GQ. Always have it around the house. Hey, let's go meet these people. [Kerry takes a lap around the bar, shaking the hands of a half-dozen or so drinkers, then returns.] Well, what're we drinking?
Beer good for you?
**[to bartender] Two Buds. **
I shoulda asked if you have any dark beer. [The bartender says he has Guinness.] Yeah? [Kerry thinks for a minute.] That's okay. This'll do. [Sips.] Cheers.
Cheers, Senator.
** ** Boy, that hits the spot today. I had a tough day. Damn hot.
Since we're in a sports bar, let me ask: Who's your sports hero?
I've got so many. Bobby Orr. Jaromir Jagr. Wayne Gretzky. DiMaggio.
How about Phil Esposito?
** **Absolutely. I wore number 7 because of him. I have a photograph, it's one of my most prized possessions, me with Phil Esposito in a charity game. And he wrote to me, "Keep your head up and your stick on the ice." [Laughs.] I like that.
There's your new campaign slogan. Forget that Real Deal stuff.
I love the old Bruins. I love the Red Wings.…
**Did you ever— **
I love baseball. I love football. I love sports. French skiers. Franz Klammer…
**Sure. '76. Going like a mofo. **
Absolutely. Unbelievable. Toni Sailer going way back.
It seems you play aggressive sports—hockey, snowboarding. Do you have a death wish?
I love competition. I love the feeling of it. For instance, I love just throwing the lacrosse ball around.
**In college, did you play Coed Naked Lacrosse? **
[Laughs.] Gosh. I wish. We never had a chance. It's a great idea. Too bad we didn't invent it. Frisbee. I love Ultimate Frisbee.
**Do you still play that? **
Hell yeah.
**I think you're hyperactive. **
I don't think I'm hyperactive. I love to play sports, but I can also come in and veg on the couch for the next three hours. I can sit and watch football like anybody else. If you want me to be one, I'm a great veg, a couch potato.
**There's another campaign slogan for John Kerry: "Vote for me, America. I can be a great couch potato!" **
You know what I like? Just doing things. I like when I'm engaged. I was watching the Tour earlier today and I love that. You want a sports hero: Greg LeMond. And obviously Lance Armstrong. You know, back in the old days, Bruce Jenner, when he broke through. And Frank Shorter.
You follow the NBA?
** **I'm not as big on basketball as other sports.
You don't follow it?
No, I follow it. I followed the Lakers and the Pistons. No, I love basketball. Beautiful game.
Why is the NHL so irrelevant? When I was a kid, it was Bobby Hull, Tony Esposito, Stan Mikita, all those guys on the Chicago Blackhawks. Now I can't name anyone.
I think the NHL overexpanded. The season's too long. Most seasons are too long in sports. Money and television have drawn out everything. I think it's hurt sports. Hockey is not what it used to be. I love the big, open Russian Olympic game. They're always swooping, always diving; there's a motion to it, which is very different from the NHL, where you get the hooking and the holding and you slow the game down. I prefer the game that's got wide-open stick handling and skating and passing. There used to be a joy to watching Bobby Orr wind up behind the net. It was beautiful.
What was your greatest moment as an athlete?
A hat trick as a senior in the Harvard—Yale soccer game.
Really? Why don't we know about this?
Well, it's not something you talk about.
So what was it like when you got the third goal?
Pretty exciting. I think I got down on my knees and hit the ground.
Did you get drunk that night?
[Laughs; leans in.] Shhhh…
I mean, I would have. That was your senior year?
Senior year. I was lucky. Nice way to end the career.
Who's the better band: Stones or Beatles?
And don't give me some lame political answer and say "I like them both." Pick one.
** **Well, I can pick both. I can tell you the truth, and the truth is I love both. I love "Brown Sugar." I love "Jumpin' Jack Flash." I love, you know, "Satisfaction." I like "Little Red Rooster." I love every Beatles song. I mean, I love the Beatles. I love the Abbey Road album, I love the White Album.
But, c'mon—you have to choose one.
But I don't have to. And that's the glory of life. I play them both. I do! I play them both. I've got them both in my car.
What about Dylan? Ever met him?
I have. It was like meeting an icon. I love Dylan. He's brilliant. One of my favorite songs ever in life is…I mean, I can name any number of his songs that I love [long pause]…but you know, Lay across my big brass bed—"Lay, Lady, Lay."
Right. That came out around the time you were in college.
So do you want to fill in the blanks?
Do you want to fill in any blanks?
[Laugh.] Oh God, what's that other song? [Long pause.] I'm having an elder moment here. What's that great song?
It's okay, I know you had a long day.
** **No, no, no, I want to remember it, because it's such a great hit song. [Pauses.] Oh God, help me out.
Is it early Dylan? Late Dylan? Blonde on Blonde? "Masters of War"?
No. [Long pause.] I'll come back to it. But that whole period I loved. He and Baez. Peter, Paul and Mary.
**Did you ever read Positively 4th Street? It's a history of that period when Dylan moved to the Village and met Baez. **
I love to read that kind of stuff. I really do. I'm a great culturalist.
Is there anyone you want to meet that you haven't?
** **Lots of people.
You're a senator, though. You can call up anyone.
Yeah, but you don't go around doing that.
I would. You could subpoena them to testify.
When we're in the majority. [Laughs.]
Is there a fictional character you identify most with?
That's a really good question. There's a little Huck Finn in me; there's a little Tom Sawyer in me.
I think there's some Gatsby in you.
In the way that Gatsby comes out of the Huck Finn tradition—a truly American character.
I think he's a little shallow. He was too materialistic. I wouldn't want to be that at all.
**Huck Finn? What's that about? **
I like the adventure. And the observational qualities he had for what was going on around him. I like Conor Larkin too.
**The guy from Trinity? **
Yeah. He stood for something. Fought for it. Fell in love. Took risks for his principles and values. And I liked what's-his-name, Jett Rink.
Oh, in Giant?
James Dean.
Speaking of movies, Brando—
You know Brando used to call me.
I had a telephone relationship with Marlon Brando. Back in '86, '85, when I was doing the contras. He took a huge interest in it. And he would call me. He was always asking questions. And he'd give me advice.
Good advice or weird advice?
Well, I never met him. We had a great telephone relationship. I just gave him a chance to get out all his thoughts. I didn't want to abuse his privacy. You know, if he had said, "Hey, come on out and see me" or "I'd like to see you," I'd have done it. But…
**Did you ever use any of his questions in the hearings? **
I took his advice on a couple of angles. A couple of points.
That's like when Nixon called a play for the Dolphins in the Super Bowl. Can you imitate Brando?
** **Nah, I wish I could. [Pauses.]
You're thinking about it.
I'm thinking about doing The Godfather, but I won't. I love his stuff.
Who is the sexiest film actress of all time?
I think Charlize Theron is pretty extraordinary.
**She's got a few things going for her. **
Catherine Zeta-Jones...
**How about when you were 20 years old? **
Marilyn Monroe. I thought she was funny. Complicated. And obviously very attractive, very beautiful.
So if you become president, who's going to sing "Happy birthday, Mr. President" to you? Charlize Theron?
My wife!
Good answer. What's your comfort food?
Comfort food? Ice cream. Makes me think of being a kid. I loved cookies as a kid. I was a cookie freak.
Have you changed your diet since the prostate cancer?
A little bit. I'm not doing quite as much lactic. And red meat and so forth. But I generally eat pretty clean and pretty carefully. I'm going to get in trouble for singling out one or two.
**What, you mean from the Beef Board or the Chicken Council? See, you worry too much. Be yourself. **
No, I'm not talking about meat, I'm talking about Hollywood actresses. [Laughs.]
What's wrong with spouting off? It's what you do over beers.
Somebody's going to say, "You didn't say so-and-so..."
**You're covering bases. **
No, I told you what I think.
**Are you a Bordeaux or a Burgundy guy? **
I don't think I'd describe myself that way. It depends. I'm not, you know, just as politically I don't like to be categorized, I don't like to be categorized with wine. It depends what I'm doing. What I'm eating.
**What's the best bottle of wine you've ever had? **
Probably a Latour 1961.
Do you remember where you were when you drank it?
**Where? **
I'm not telling you.
**Did you have your clothes on? **
[Laughs.] Yes. I was with a bunch of other people, and we had a great time.
**How big a wine cellar do you have? **
Not very big. I mean, you know, a decent one. I don't drink very much at all. Now. Because when you're working as hard as I am and you're on the trail, you can't be tired; you're dehydrated.
When you're elected president, what bottle of wine will you drink?
I'll celebrate great American wines.
There you go again. Good political answer.
I'll give you another great wine: Beringer Private Reserve.
So back when you were single, between wives, you were the Bachelor Senator. I mean, that must've been a great time. It sounds like the premise for a sitcom or a Ben Affleck movie or—
That's ridiculous. Those were not good days, is all I can say. I think if you ask anyone, Bob Kerrey, or anyone who's been single on Capitol Hill, you'll find it's no fun.
**Why? Because you can't trust anyone? **
It's just not fun. That's not a good world, and everyone wants a piece of you, and all I can say is, thank God I found Teresa.
**I'm single. What should I look for in a woman? **
Look for what gets your heart.
**What would it be for you, with Teresa? **
Someone who excites you, turns you on. It's a quality of character. It's a kind of presentation. Sense of womanhood. Full woman. Confident. It's a woman who loves being a woman. Who wears her womanhood. Who knows how to flirt and have fun. Smart. Confident. Has a sense of self. Strong. And obviously sexy and saucy and challenging.
How do you like to be challenged? **I want a woman who's going to call me on my shit. **
I think every man wants a woman who also is supportive, there for you. But that's only part of a relationship. It's work. It's hard. Nobody who's not had a relationship or who hasn't been married understands. You have to care about it. You have to invest in it, and you compromise on certain things. But if it works, it's great.
**And when it doesn't? **
When it doesn't, for one reason or another, you wind up like I did.
**Divorced? **
**But that's— **
It happens.
**But you don't regret any of that. **
Well, I think you're always saddened by it.
**But sadness is not regret. **
Right, but it takes its toll. And anybody who's been through it will tell you that. I would advise people to try to find a way to avoid it. It's not fun. It's tough on kids; it's tough on people.
A friend of yours has said that Teresa has changed you for the better, opened you up.
No doubt. After my first marriage, I was like a lot of people who had a relationship that doesn't work—you want to make sure that the next one does. And you're a little gun-shy and apprehensive and nervous. And Teresa gave me a sense of confidence about relationships that filled that. As you get older, you sort of realize what's important and what's not. What's worth worrying about and what's not. And all that helps.
But confidence? You seem like the most confident guy in the world.
Everybody always has doubts about something. If you don't, you're not thinking. I'm confident about a lot of things, but I'm not somebody who's blind to human frailty and to the need for humility. We all have our flaws. And Teresa, you know, gave me just a great sort of strong, clear commitment to who I am. So you know, she loved me. And I think that kind of love is very compelling.
Does it frustrate you, the way your wife gets characterized?
Yes. It's very unfair. She's not defined by her money. She's not defined by her surname. She's defined by what she thinks. Who she is. Where her heart is. What her gut is. And by the things she does with all of that. She spent years as a mom, like every other mom in America, taking care of her kids. She wasn't spoiled. She didn't have nannies up the kazoo, things like that. She cooked for her kids, she took care of her kids, she raised her kids, and, you know, she works really hard. And after her husband, her first husband, was killed, she took on enormous responsibilities. She is really phenomenally capable. She's a great leader and thinker.
Something that's frustrating to me and people who want to vote for you: We feel that we still don't know who John Kerry is. There's that lack of personality, of charisma. What's up with that, with you?
[testily] Who said that? In the last few weeks?
**Yeah. **
Have you been to our events?
No. But I'm just saying—
They're amazing, I think that we are doing very well.
That's a different thing. I'm talking about how you come across.
I'm not Bill Clinton, okay? I like Bill Clinton, and I admire him for his political skills enormously. He's a very smart guy. And the decisions he made for our country were the right decisions. The direction he took us in was the right direction. But I'm not Bill. I'm me. And I'm not trying to be anybody else. I'm gonna be me. And I got elected four times to the Senate. Bill Clinton, if you recall, didn't start out where Bill Clinton is today. It took time. You know, I can remember a thirty-five-minute speech in Atlanta.
**Does it frustrate you that you run in his wake? **
I don't even bother with it. I really don't. I'm having fun. I'm going straight ahead. I'm having a good time. I think I'm relating to audiences. I'm learning certain skills as time goes on. You get better at certain things. I'm listening very carefully to people. There are things that I need to learn how to do better. I'm learning.
But you've been a campaigner your whole life. Why has it taken you so long to learn this? I'll give you an example. I met you once before, not that you'll remember.
Tell me.
It was at The Four Seasons about a year and a half ago.
Four Seasons in…?
New York. The Four Seasons Restaurant.
Oh, I remember that. I was sitting around afterwards?
No, what happened was, I went to use the bathroom and then—wham!—out walks John Kerry. I couldn't have been more excited. And I stuck my hand out and said, "Senator Kerry, Michael Hainey, GQ, pleasure to meet you." And it seemed like the last thing you wanted to do was meet a supporter. Why didn't you care about meeting me, an average voter?
Yeah, I probably… I don't have a clue what the situation was.… It's interesting when you say that.
No, I mean, really—it's important because you need to be aware of how you project yourself. Because right here, man, you're cool and relad and fun.
Had you been in the bathroom or come out?
It was locked, so I was waiting outside—
And I was coming out?
And I just sort of got you.
I probably didn't want to be ambushed. It probably was late at night and when you announced you were with the press, I probably felt even less so. [Laughs.]
Right. But you have to be ready for that. You're a politician.
I think there are times when you fight for a little bit of a privacy zone. I value personal time. I enjoy conversation. I love to sit and talk. But I don't like to feel a lack of control over my life.
But c'mon, you're running for president! You gotta show 'em what you're showing me.
I fight that a little bit—being "on" all the time. I think anybody who's thoughtful fights that a little bit. And sometimes you sort of say, okay, my mind's not in it today, I want a break.
But you can't do that in a campaign, for God's sake.
No, obviously you can't. And that's one of the learning curves. You realize, wait a minute, I've accepted a responsibility and that is to always be available. And you have to learn that. I didn't do that when I first began in this business. When I first began, I was so issue oriented. And I've learned through the years, through friends, through colleagues, through experience, through mistakes, that it's a very personal thing. Look, I'm not hard to figure out. I'm not a big complicated deal. I'm very straightforward, I'm loyal to a fault, I care about friends and relationships—I have thirty-year, forty-year friends.
**Who's your best friend? **
I never—because I have a lot of friends who are very close. And I wouldn't do that to one of them. I care deeply about things. I think the world is in a very dangerous place. I think I can make it better. I know how to lead. I think I have a good value system, a good set of instincts, and I think these guys in power are out of touch with the average people of our country. And people are getting hurt. And if you look at my life, I'm a fighter. I'm a guy who picks up fights and takes you on. I didn't have to come back from the war and go out and demonstrate and say we're going to end it, piss off a lot of friends and cohorts and the military, but I did. It was a matter of conscience.
Are you frustrated that the Republicans have painted you more the protester than the warrior?
I think they're pathetic. If George Bush wants to have a debate about what he did versus what I did, I'll meet him anywhere in the country and we can talk about opposition to the war and fighting in a war. Bring it on.
Right. But what about how he's painting you?
I just think it's pathetic. It indicates how craven they are. You know, in the dark of night I might call them some names, but I just think it's kind of stupid. I really do. I think it's so pathetic. It's stupid. And I think it hurt them. I mean, I think more people now know my record than did before, thanks to them. If you want to have that debate, let's have it. _[Bartender puts down two pints of Guinness.] _Cheers. Here's to Guinness.
**Cheers. **
The thick stuff. I love Guinness. This is one of my favorites.
I used to be a real good chugger of Guinness.
Yeah, you know. Chugging.
That's a thick chug.
It has practically no carbonation, so it goes down easy. It's like chugging syrup.
_[Laughs.] _That's good; Yeah, it's really soft.
So, in the past few years, you've lost both your parents.
Yes. It's a shame that they are not here to see this, to see me. Not that they would enjoy it.
What do you mean? Did they not want you to go into politics?
Well, not so much that. Just really the whole thing of running and all the attention it puts on everyone. It's not a lot of fun for everyone else. It's hard. And I think at different times they might have wondered about it all. But no, they were happy. They'd be happy.
Were you closer to your father or your mother?
At different times closer to each. But like with any son, there sure were times when I parted ways with my old man. I also never saw my father a lot growing up because he was in the Foreign Service and always traveling. So when I became a father, I wanted to be sure and carve out time for my kids, to let them know I was there for them and how much I loved them.
Here's a crazy theory.
You've got a great résumé, you're an internationalist, patrician. You're more the son of George Bush Senior than W. is.
I don't want to go anywhere near that. Except to say this: I like Junior, but I like the senior Bush enormously. A very decent, thoughtful guy. And I have great respect for him.
W. seems like he came out of a laboratory.
I don't comment on him personally at all.
What's that gold chain around your neck?
It's a Saint Christopher's medal, given to me by a family friend before I shipped out for Nam, and I haven't taken it off since.
You beat prostate cancer. Was that your first thought of mortality?
Oh God! No. You kidding, man? I mean, Jesus, I saw my own death any number of times in Vietnam. There was this period where I was convinced I'd be killed. But I made it back with a sense that every day is extra. You know, we used to have a saying over there when we were screwing around and getting in trouble, breaking the rules. We'd look at each other and we'd say, "We're fuckin' idiots, and this is Vietnam." I mean, that attitude is liberating. It's sort of been there, done that. And they can't—I'm gonna get in trouble for saying the F-word there—but people who come back from that are very lucky and know that, and it is very liberating. You know, there's not much that scares me. So I'm not worried about things—certainly not dying, because too many of my friends did. And so I think it empowers you to go out and tell the truth and let the chips fall where they may. Bush and Cheney don't understand that. That's one of the things I think is most lacking in their stewardship of our country. So when I was, you know, when I heard about the cancer diagnosis, to me it was, just, okay, next challenge. Let's get it done. What do we do?
Did you come back from Nam with any psychic damage?
I was very lucky, Mike. I think I was able to take that pain and put it out there in my efforts to end the war. And so I very publicly laid out my depth of opposition to what was happening and my feelings about what had happened over there in a way that, you know, a lot of guys didn't have that opportunity, or couldn't or didn't, and they kind of held it in. And I think that's the harder thing; that's the problem for a lot of guys. So I never did have any of those issues. It doesn't slow me down; it motivates me.
You've never seen a therapist?
No. I had some nightmares when I came home, which is not unusual.
Like what?
I can't say. To me Vietnam is an old place, an old memory. It is old history, it's gone, it's past. The less I have to talk about it, frankly, the happier I am.
How does it all end for you?
It's up to the American people.
I'm talking in a metaphysical sense, big picture.
I mean, that's yet to be defined.
How would you want it to end, if you could choose?
Boy, that's just really hanging out there, isn't it? [Long pause; wells up.] Gracefully. Yeah, gracefully.

Ave Maria (Angelus Domini) (For Brass Choir). By Franz Biebl (1906-). Arranged by Jeremy Yager. For 3 B-flat trumpets, 2 horns, 2 trombones, bass trombone, euphonium, tuba. Score and part(s). 32 pages. Published by Balquhidder Music (CF.BQ127). ISBN 825893488. Franz Biebl (1906 - 2001) made his way from choir director to professor of choral music to head of choral programs at Bavarian Radio. In this latter capacity, he often encouraged American choirs to visit Munich to perform on radio and with German choirs. A copy of the Ave Maria was given to the Cornell University Glee Club's director, who brought it back to the U.S., where it became ever more popular. A recording by Chanticleer made it a hit with the American public, which also brought it to much wider attention in Germany, where it had previously languished. Originally written for male chorus, the Ave Maria is now available in several voicings by the composer, including a version for 7-part mixed chorus, and has been arranged for instrumental ensembles, as well. Now, Jeremy Yager provides a definitive brass choir version, faithful to the original, and suitable for high school and college ensembles.

Costa Rican Pacific Coast is a paradise for anglers that come to visit us from all around the world. They usually get here attracted by the numerous world records in different categories (species) that have been achieved within our geography and that have been vastly documented in specialized magazines.
Another reason is that there is good fishing all year round: Each month being excellent or good for the different species, either those dwelling closer to the shore or those who prefer the deeper waters . All of our captains are well-experienced and fully bilingual and they love to fish more than any other thing in the world. For our different excursions we use the following boats: 27' Troph, 27' Robalo, 17' Boston Whaler

There's never been a better time
to apply to Otterbein University.
Apply online today!
Find out what our MBA graduates have to say about their Otterbein experience. Select a graduate below:
My name is Adriana Shkreli and I originally chose Otterbein University because of its emphasis on the student and professor relationship in the classroom. After graduating with a B.S. double major in Economics and Business Administration with a concentration in Finance, I knew that I wanted to continue my journey at Otterbein with the MBA program for another two years. I had a wonderful experience during my undergrad and Otterbein simply felt like my home. I had the privilege to work as a Graduate Assistant for the Integrative Studies department that allowed me to appreciate the efforts and work behind-the-scenes that professors put into making sure that students get the best educational experience. I will forever be grateful that Otterbein University allowed me to build great relationships with my professors and classmates. Professors are different at Otterbein because they get to know you as a person and help you pave the way to your future. The best thing I got from my six years at Otterbein was the opportunity to expand my mind and to ask the question "why". I recommend both Otterbein as an undergraduate and MBA choice to any student who is willing to challenge themselves in wanting a holistic view of the world around them.
My name is Jean-Claude Ndongo and I received my MBA from The Graduate School at Otterbein University in May of 2013. Prior to selecting the MBA program at Otterbein, I spent approximately three to four years researching several graduate programs across the nation. After attending several information sessions with other schools in the Columbus area, I visited Otterbein in 2010 and was instantly convinced that I had found the perfect program; I applied a few weeks later and started my MBA in January 2011.
While attending Otterbein I worked a full-time job in financial services and had increasing family responsibilities that included me and my wife welcoming the birth of our two children. Although I felt overwhelmed at times, I knew that the challenges that I faced were going to eventually pay off. The Otterbein MBA program has enhanced my critical thinking and decision-making abilities: I greatly benefited from my peers' experiences and input as well as all my instructors' knowledge and passion. Most of all, this program has provided me with a quality education and a great network made up of fellow alumni, professors and school administrators that truly care about my overall development as an individual.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Otterbein MBA to anyone looking for a strong graduate program that will provide them with superior business and critical thinking skills while making them a part of a caring community.
My name is Jessica Foster and I am a proud Otterbein MBA graduate. I chose Otterbein for several reasons: flexibility of the program while maintaining a full-time job, convenient location, recommendations from friends, and an immediate connection when meeting staff and current students in the program. Even though my bachelor's degree in business administration from Miami University opened a lot of doors for me, I still felt like I was "type-cast" as an IT resource after spending time in IT consulting roles. I chose to go back to school to round out my business and leadership skills after spending 6 years in the workforce. It made what I learned more relevant and immediately applicable. I am grateful for the rigorous, yet flexible curriculum, the professors that taught me so much academically and personally, and for forging some of the strongest friendships in my life.
My name is Kate Visconti. I earned my MBA from The Graduate School at Otterbein University in 2003. I chose Otterbein, primarily, because I was already in love with the faculty, staff, campus, and educational opportunities that I had at Otterbein, having already earned a Bachelor's in English/ Secondary Education.
I love the Otterbein community (i.e., students, faculty, staff, and the Westerville area in general). Pursuing the MBA, I was able to continue take classes at my own pace with Professors that I knew, trusted, and admired.
Honestly, I had not thought about obtaining an MBA as a former teacher, but making the switch to a business education has proven to be a life-changing experience. The coursework aligned perfectly with a time for me in my career where I made some major changes. I will never forget the first time someone asked me about the price elasticity of our ATM fees and I actually knew what our Finance guy was talking about! Thanks Otterbein! I also made close friends and lasting relationships that are in place to this day. My network was definitely expanded, to the benefit of both me and my network, personally and professionally. I whole-heartedly recommend Otterbein for anyone looking to truly grow as a professional and an individual.
My name is Kathy, I am a proud 2005 Otterbein MBA graduate. When I decided to apply to colleges offering MBA programs, I was working full-time and raising a family. Most important to me when selecting a program was 1) a program that would prepare me for the next career level, 2) a program that was recognized for a quality education, and 3) an affordable program. I reviewed all of the local and online programs available at the time. For me, Otterbein fit the bill completely.
I believed that to reach the next career level, I needed the financial and general management knowledge the Otterbein MBA offered. It was also important to me to be able to arrange an independent study that allowed me to develop proficiency in a specific area.
I began the program in the autumn term 2002 and (even with 2 pre-requisites) finished my coursework in the autumn term 2004. Soon after completing the program, I earned a significant promotion and assumed new responsibilities at a growing Fortune 500 company. In early 2006, I joined a new company, at an officer level, to build a new department using the skills I learned during the independent study. Both these major career steps were the direct result of applying what I learned while at Otterbein. Most recently, I had an exciting opportunity to start my own business. Every day I use what I learned over the course of the program, and especially in the Entrepreneurship course.
If you are considering investing time and money in your career with an MBA graduate degree, give Otterbein a careful study. You will find the advantages a small school offers (access to professors, shorter distance across campus, small classes) along with the quality of program found at larger schools.
My name is Ken Wichman and I am a 2002 graduate of the Otterbein MBA Program. I chose Otterbein because of the reputation of the institution and the academic curriculum that is offered. For a business professional, like myself, the Otterbein MBA allowed for the flexibility that I needed with a busy schedule. Additionally, the student body at Otterbein is in a class of its own. Finally, it is a very nice campus with great resources available to each and every student. I would highly recommend the Otterbein MBA.
My name is Kevin Stough and I received my MBA from The Graduate Program at Otterbein University in 2003. I chose Otterbein for a number of reasons, but the most important were the small community feel and the flexibility of classes. My undergraduate studies were at Ohio State so I had my fill of large campuses. I had actually not thought much about attending graduate school until I met one of the adjunct professors for Otterbein on a project that my company was working on. After some discussions, it made sense to look into graduate school and after visiting the campus and meeting with several of the staff, I felt right at home. The coursework came at a great time for me in my career. I was a fairly newly minted leader of an IT department and the variety of coursework really helped me to grow in my new role. I made some great friends in my time at Otterbein and I have no doubt that the experience and knowledge gained has made me a better person. Anyone looking to expand their knowledge and grow their career should definitely look at an MBA from The Graduate School at Otterbein University.
My name is Pete Samijlenko and I am an Otterbein MBA graduate, Class of 2006. When it came time to picking a program, I looked at several Central Ohio programs and compared how the programs would best fit not only into my professional career, but my personal life as well. As a father of a 3 year old at the time, I wanted a program that was flexible with my family schedule, yet offered a quality education. After an exhaustive search, Otterbein clearly became my #1 choice, and I'm happy to say the Otterbein MBA program exceeded my expectations. Other programs I considered focused more on the internet being a major tool of flexibility in courses offered and professors' availability. I preferred the traditional classroom setting with professors standing in front of me, teaching and answering questions. Otterbein also provided a great networking opportunity with other professionals in the Columbus area, which allowed me to make new lifelong friends. I highly recommend the MBA program at Otterbein and I am extremely proud to say that I belong to its prestigious alumni group.
My name is Peter O'Neill and I am an Otterbein MBA graduate! I chose Otterbein because I was working north of 270 and knew I planned to stay in central Ohio. I visited several schools and felt most comfortable at Otterbein. When I looked at the history of Otterbein, I really felt that Otterbein would help me grow as an individual. My Otterbein MBA has helped me to round out my engineering degree with the business knowledge and leadership capabilities to advance my career. Since graduating, my MBA has helped me move from a technical career path to a career focused on the business side of selling and implementing new technologies. To anyone considering an MBA, I would recommend they take a deep look inside the schools and programs they are considering. Only Otterbein offers the value, flexibility, and rich history of developing students into the leaders needed in today's workforce.
My name is Rachel Mazur and I'm an Otterbein MBA graduate - 2010. I live and work in Westerville and Otterbein was the perfect fit for me, and my lifestyle. A few of the things I love about Otterbein are:
I left each class with take-a-way value I could implement in our business to make it grow and operate efficiently and would recommend an Otterbein MBA to anyone that asks! Please feel free to contact me at firstname.lastname@example.com if you would like to discuss the program further.
Sean Donnelly, MBA '07
Managing Director, Arch Reinsurance
My name is Sean Donnelly and I am an Otterbein MBA graduate, Class of 2007. I chose Otterbein over the other local programs because of the flexibility and small class sizes. It was important to me to be able to enroll in courses around my hectic professional and personal schedules while moving at my own pace. Also, I knew attending Otterbein would allow me to intimately interact with my professors and classmates resulting in an enriched learning experience. My Otterbein MBA has greatly enhanced my own "emotional intelligence", leadership abilities, and project management skills. It gave me the confidence to help start a business unit from scratch and begin leading others on their path of growth and development. Someone looking for a quality MBA education surrounded by experienced peers and knowledgeable professors wrapped in a family atmosphere must have Otterbein at the top of their list.
My name is Todd Ricketts and I earned my MBA from The Graduate School at Otterbein University in 2010. I chose Otterbein based off the variety of classes where I could focus on IT Leadership. Having earned my Bachelor's degree from Fisher College of Business at Ohio State, I wanted to have variety in my institutions that I attended to help prepare me for my future goal of obtaining a PhD. What I did not expect was to have classes that would alter my career and solidify my direction as a professional (Change Management, IT Leadership, and Marketing). These three classes, both individually and how I connected concepts & techniques from them, allowed me to recognize my career path and the confidence to pursue it. Before my MBA, I was searching within my positions and using changes in my career to determine what I really wanted to do. The experiences across all of the classes over two years brought clarity in what I wanted to pursue and who I wanted to be.
The people at Otterbein also made a huge difference in the experience. The personal interaction with classmates, who were experienced professionals, allowed for learning during the process of working on projects. Additionally, the small class sizes meant that I was able to interact with the professors, both as teachers and mentors. And when it comes to an MBA, and beyond, having the close interaction with those in the program mimics the everyday work environment, but with more thought exploration - things you cannot get from large classes or online learning. I would highly recommend Otterbein's MBA program to anyone who wants to advance their skills and capabilities for themselves and for their career.
My name is Tommy Timam and I am a proud Otterbein MBA 2005 graduate. I started my Otterbein journey after I had completed my undergraduate program. During that time the financial job market was tough and I was lucky to hold onto a job at a local grocery store. To pursue my career, I knew I needed to differentiate myself from other job seekers and I thought a graduate degree would help. I was accepted into the program and nervously started my classes. On the first day of my first MBA class I sat next to a fellow student and after some polite introductions he asked me what I did. I told him the truth that I bagged groceries, but that I wanted to work in the financial markets. It turned out that he worked for a Financial company and three weeks later I started at that same company. 10 years and 3 promotions later I still work for that very same company. Otterbein has also helped me grow outside of my career. In 2008, I attended an Otterbein MBA Alumni function and was blessed to meet my future wife there. To this day I still have several professors who welcome my calls, emails or texts about anything going on in my life. I went to Otterbein to just receive a degree, however I became part of a community.
My name is Christine Humphrey and I am an Otterbein MSN/MBA graduate, Class of 2014! I originally chose Otterbein because they are one of the few universities in Central Ohio that offered the dual MSN/MBA degree. The ability to complete this dual degree in 3 years was very attractive to me. The faculty at Otterbein was willing to work with my busy work schedule. While working full time at Nationwide Children's Hospital as a RN I was able to complete my coursework and receive this fulfilling degree in less than three years. The ability to interact with my fellow classmates in the MBA courses allowed me to make new business connections, and learn new ideas from their life experiences. This made my learning experience practical and worthwhile. After graduating I received a promotion at Nationwide Children's Hospital and began my new journey as a Clinical Nurse Educator Specialist. Not only does Otterbein provide a quality education, but also lifelong connections and an identity in both the academic and working communities. Any individual looking for a meaningful degree and quality program should choose Otterbein.
I cannot express in nearly enough words how powerfully profound the decision to attend Otterbein's MBA in the fall of 2000 reshaped my professional career. The challenging curriculum helped prepare me for tremendous success with a Fortune 500 company and ultimately to have the courage to join a young, start-up leadership and management-consulting firm as its Chief Leadership Officer earlier this year. The short-term impact of the sacrifice of the relatively small amount of time you will invest pales in comparison with the knowledge and insights you will gain from a critical examination of business as it contributes to society at large.
Besides reaping the immediate benefits of acquiring a graduate degree from a highly reputable university with a few promotions, at Otterbein I found enduring friendships with whom I still maintain contact. The flexibility of the program permitted me to pursue my degree while continuing my professional career; a career in which I was able to use much of what the program offered. To be able to attend a reputable accredited institution while working provided me a tremendous competitive advantage when competing for roles at my company against other highly qualified candidates.
I whole-heartedly recommend the Otterbein MBA for those individuals who wish to nurture their commitment to life-long learning and who wish to join a community of civic and business leaders who know that their passions can truly be ignited by the fuel of this pursuit. I sincerely believe that by attending Otterbein, you will make a more profound impact within the company you work, the associates with whom you engage, and your own personal development. You cannot expect to receive the unearned…obtaining an Otterbein MBA is a fantastic way to earn it.
I am another proud Otterbein MBA graduate! Program flexibility, course offerings, value, and reputation, these are the characteristics that made the decision easy for me. Whether you're just starting out in your career or a seasoned business professional, everyone can benefit from the fresh perspectives and conveyance of knowledge regarding today's business environment. My Otterbein MBA helped me continue to round out my business knowledge, strategic thinking, and leadership capabilities, contributing to my promotion as Vice President of Tax and Treasury of a publicly traded global manufacturing company. I have no doubt that I will continue to benefit from the MBA earned at Otterbein, and would recommend the program to anyone considering to further their education. I am truly proud to be part of the Otterbein Community.
Continuing my education through Otterbein's MBA program has been one of the best decisions I've made to improve my knowledge and career. The program gave me the confidence to choose my career path instead of accepting where I was. I always recommend Otterbein to anyone looking for self-improvement.
After completing my undergraduate degree from The Ohio State University with a major in English, I accepted the first position available. While it was a great experience, I knew it wasn't a career path I would find satisfying. I determined the best way for me to take control of my career was through the Otterbein MBA program. The courses from OSU complemented the business courses at Otterbein and the evening schedule allowed me to work throughout the time I was enrolled. It was hard work, but the professors understand that many of the students are working adults and were always accommodating.
While the business coursework was valuable, the relationships built with professors and other students cannot be understated. With both the professors and fellow students' leaders in the local business community, the curriculum was always related back to real world application. I use this knowledge and experience daily.
My name is Griffin Pierce and I am a 2014 graduate of Otterbein's MBA Program. After graduating from Ohio State's Fisher College of Business with a double specialization in marketing and logistics in June of 2012, I wasn't quite sure what direction I wanted to take my career. I decided to continue my education by pursuing an MBA degree at Otterbein University, which turned out to be a great choice.
The classes at Otterbein were very different than my undergraduate experience, where I would regularly have hundreds of students in a class. The people I met and interacted with in the program were fantastic. The variety of backgrounds and degrees which my peers brought to the classroom made classroom discussions and coursework very interesting and realistic to a work environment. Otterbein provided me a much more personal experience with my professors, whom were very knowledgeable and always willing to help.
I decided to pursue the Information Technology (IT) concentration and was excited to study IT because of the integral role it plays in business today. After earning my degree, I began my career as a Software Quality Assurance Analyst in the IT field at a Fortune 500 company. I've been able to apply the business knowledge and experiences I learned at Otterbein on a daily basis. Otterbein's MBA program helped me get to where I'm at today and will continue to benefit me as my career progresses, wherever that may be.

This is one of the best films that master-of-suspense Alfred Hitchcock ever made in his 50-year career as a filmmaker.
Not only are the arguing couple Stewart sees across the way an image of marriage and relationships, so is every other neighbor that Stewart watches. There is a middle-aged couple who have a dog as a surrogate child, but appear to be happy. There is a newlywed couple whose blinds are shut most of the time. There is an older woman, probably a widow, who sculpts a decidedly phallic piece of art. There is a lonely woman nicknamed "Miss Lonely Hearts" hopelessly looking for love. There is a sexy neighbor nicknamed "Miss Torso" who always has men swarming around her. Grace Kelly notes that the woman doesn't love any of these men. She knows because it resembles her apartment, she says. There is also an unmarried songwriter across the way who does find love in the end.

When superstar track and field coach Bill Bowerman met talented middle-distance runner Phil Knight, an unlikely partnership was formed.
Bowerman was looking for lighter, more durable running shoes for his Oregon University Runners, and Knight was searching for a way to make a living without having to give up athletics all together. The two put their heads together and came up with a shoe that featured outsoles modelled on a waffle iron – unconventional, but somehow it worked.
Bowerman and Knight named their new venture Nike, after the Greek goddess of victory, and began selling their shoes from out the boot of a car. From these humble beginnings, the company has grown into a sports industry market leader, and its distinctive 'swoosh' logo is arguably the most recognisable brand logo on the planet.
Despite this success, Nike's mission statement remains the unchanged: To bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete in the world. Because if you have a body, you're an athlete.
