I think Joe eating in the background makes this weekly wrap up the greatest ever!

I live in Omaha because my girlfriend is going to Creighton Medical, so I moved here.

But as a kid I idolized Buffett and went to school in NYC to follow his path but ended up hating the financial world (paid off I guess).

After college started a business or two and now I'm in a city similar to my hometown (Syracuse) that is a hot spot for small business and startups.

I think its destiny that I'm here, not just the only option.

I live in Omaha because I can walk to work, enjoy time with my family and friends and still do lots of cool stuff that I used to do in Chicago but only for less money.

Need I say more?

I live in Omaha because my wife was moving here with or with out me.

But I have been very happy with the outcome and plan on staying here for a while.

I live in Omaha because our small-town flavor complements our big-city feel, making almost anything possible.
