Final road trip DL of this trip, from Willcox, Arizona. Covered some trip details from my visit to Lubbock and Las Cruces, and then played a parody song produced by Ward Radio on the "God of Calvinism." Used it as a basis to again address the utter lack of interest in accuracy or truthfulness exemplified on the net these days. Not sure what next week's schedule is going to look like, but we will do our best!

Live Road Trip DL from Las Cruces, New Mexico today, considering Dale Partridge's amazing assertion that "most women can't think," and then moving on to the state of Roman Catholic apologetics on line today, using the ramblings of Bishop Jaxi as an example. And a nice shot out the back window of our Mobile Command Center at the Organ Mountains on the other side of Las Cruces.

Democracy isn't defending itself—and this conversation made clear that the frontlines run straight through the states.On May 6, BigTentUSA hosted a powerful discussion moderated by Joanna Lydgate of States United Action. Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and New Mexico's Doña Ana County Clerk Amanda López Askin laid out the growing threats to free and fair elections—and the leaders fighting back.The speakers warned that attacks on election workers, misinformation campaigns, voter intimidation, and efforts to undermine public trust are already shaping the road to 2028. But they also emphasized that coordinated state-level leadership defeated attempts to overturn the 2020 election and can do so again. From protecting vote-by-mail access to preventing intimidation at polling sites, both leaders stressed the importance of proactive safeguards and community engagement.The message was unmistakable: volunteer to serve as a poll worker, support trusted local election officials, and stay engaged year-round—because protecting democracy starts long before Election Day.Check out our ACT NOW page for guidance on contacting your reps to vote “NO” on Trump's ballroom and other calls to action: https://bigtentusa.org/act-now/Learn more about Amanda's campaign: https://amandafornm.com/Learn more about Jocelyn's campaign: https://www.jocelynbenson.com/Check out States United Action: https://statesunited.org/states-united-action/ABOUT THE SPEAKERS:Amanda López Askin is a public servant rooted in New Mexico, raised in Las Cruces by a hardworking single mother who relied on assistance and public housing.

So much for playing a (potential) 20-game football season this year for Louisiana Tech University! Bulldogs fans can breathe a rather expensive $8 million sigh of relief after the school and Conference USA have apparently come to terms on a long-awaited exit agreement. This will allow Louisiana Tech to officially begin play in the Sunbelt Conference beginning with this fall’s college football season. The national news media enjoyed a not-that-funny field day making jokes about how Louisiana Tech might play a 20-game schedule this fall.  Conference USA and the Sunbelt Conference each released their football schedules in March which featured the Bulldogs participating in games in both conferences this fall. It started when Conference USA posted a 2026 fall football schedule on March 12 which included Louisiana Tech.  The Bulldogs have been a part of Conference USA since 2013.  However, the school gave notice to C-USA last summer that the Bulldogs intended to leave and join the geographically-closer group of schools in the Sunbelt Conference. Not to be outdone, the Sunbelt Conference released its own 2026 fall football schedule – including Louisiana Tech – the following day on March 13. A quick review of those two football schedules meant that the Bulldogs might have to play a 20-game football schedule this fall! A very creative sportswriter in Shreveport recently came up with a plan where Louisiana Tech could possibly play all 20 games this fall by utilizing a split-squad on a couple of occasions.  With 20 possible football games, the Bulldogs might be able to post the school’s first 10-win season and secure a top bowl invitation! The deal is not official – yet A few news outlets reported Tuesday that Louisiana Tech will open its wallet to pay Conference USA over $8 million to exit the league in order to join the Sunbelt Conference this fall. If you would like some history as to how this began, check out my previous posts here and here.  In recent weeks, Louisiana Tech and Conference USA have been at the negotiation table trying to settle this matter via arbitration. Neither Louisiana Tech nor Conference USA have officially announced this settlement agreement or its terms.  Many negotiated settlements include certain provisions which the two parties are required to keep confidential. We may never know the actual amount or how long Louisiana Tech has to pay it. Given the size of the reported settlement, the smiles seem more likely to be coming from Conference USA and its attorneys as many expected the final amount to be in the range of $4-5 million. What is $8 million worth to Louisiana Tech?  Plenty! The Knight Foundation college athletics database showed Louisiana Tech’s total athletics spending in 2024 was $33 million.  Football amounted to $9 million or 27% of the total. By contrast, Louisiana’s football giant LSU showed athletics spending of $221 million in 2024.  Football expenditures were $60 million of the total. To my surprise, football at LSU consumed the same 27% of the total athletics budget as Louisiana Tech’s. Unlike Louisiana Tech, though, LSU’s expensive athletics program has been turning a profit for decades.  The Ruston-based Bulldogs have gone into the red in several recent years. That’s why Louisiana Tech’s willingness to pay a $8 million price tag to exit Conference USA is a bit surprising. Why did Louisiana Tech agree to pay up? The school’s national reputation was on the line if a deal wasn’t consummated this spring. Conference USA’s agreement with Louisiana Tech had specific requirements which the school had to meet in order to exit the contract before its scheduled termination.  One stipulation involved Louisiana Tech giving a minimum notice (rumored to be 14 months) prior to exiting C-USA.  Another required Louisiana Tech to forfeit two years of its share of C-USA media revenues (estimated to be at least $2 million or more per year). For its part, Louisiana Tech watched as former Conference USA members Marshall, Old Dominion, and Southern Miss locked hands and broke away together to join the Sunbelt Conference in 2022. Not only did the exiting trio appear to give less prior notice than Louisiana Tech provided, the word leaked that each party had paid Conference USA about $3 million apiece in order to walk away. It’s quite possible that the leadership at Louisiana Tech expected similar treatment. One thing which most media sources have failed to consider is Conference USA’s current television/media deal with ESPN and CBS Sports Network. The new arrangement began in 2023 – one year after Marshall, Old Dominion, and Southern Miss had already walked away. The current media contract may have included a provision to reduce the annual media revenues to C-USA should any of the league’s then-current members (such as Louisiana Tech) leave the conference prior to the end of the latest media contract. Perhaps Conference USA demanded Louisiana Tech to compensate the remaining group of primary Conference USA members for several years of lost media revenues. Even at $8 million, should this be considered a good deal for Louisiana Tech? In the short term, it appears that the proverbial cart got before the horse. The $8 million price tag was a very steep price to pay for a school leaving a declining mid-major athletics conference to join a rising mid-major conference like the Sunbelt. Anyone looking to point fingers should start with Louisiana Tech’s decision makers.  Many openly expressed their desire to join the Sunbelt Conference months ahead of the official announcement last July.  Nearly everyone wanted to see the Bulldogs renew their old rivalries, save significantly on travel expenses, and retain top athlete-students. This fall’s move to the Sunbelt Conference will be a very positive moment for Louisiana Tech athletics.  The $8 million price tag must be amortized over a period of more than just a few years in order to feel better about the short-term financial pain. I have been a long-time critic of Conference USA’s rinky-dink October mid-week college football games.  Bulldogs fans cringed as their Saturday home games were moved to Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday nights during October purely for television. This was done to quench the media’s insatiable desire to show competitive football on television (and reap the advertising benefits) seven nights per week during fall’s pre-Christmas advertising blitz. Sports fans of the ULM Warhawks and Louisiana’s Ragin’ Cajuns will be thrilled to have Louisiana Tech join their athletics conference.  Those two Sunbelt schools will see higher attendance and lower travel costs for all sporting events involving Louisiana Tech beginning this fall. The unfortunate downside of this expensive buyout is whether Louisiana Tech failed to fully understand its existing contract agreement with Conference USA. Someone at the school had to have established a value representing the worst-case scenario of the potential exit costs prior to making a deal to join the Sunbelt Conference.  A good attorney should have flagged the potential worst-case possibilities as well. It appeared that the school expected to make a reasonable exit deal ($3 million) similar to what Marshall, Old Dominion, and Southern Miss accomplished in 2022. Last July’s announcement decision by Louisiana Tech to join the Sunbelt Conference “no later than 2027” almost immediately started the clock running on legal fees. Conference USA sued Louisiana Tech in state court months later in November.  Tech countered with their own suit against C-USA in early 2026.  Recent weeks of arbitration and settlement discussions have been ringing up even more legal bills. In the end, Conference USA “won” its $8 million, but that’s about it Nothing against other long-time Conference USA members such as Western Kentucky, Florida International, and Middle Tennessee State, but Louisiana Tech carried the most recognizable national sports footprint in C-USA in recent years. Conference USA will no longer be able to claim the school whose athletics history includes Hall-of-Famers such as football’s Terry Bradshaw and Willie Roaf. The same goes for basketball Hall-of-Famers Karl Malone and women’s point guard-turned-four-time national championship coach Kim Mulkey. Conference USA’s far-flung geography was a big factor in Louisiana Tech’s decision to move to the Sunbelt.  Liberty University in Virginia and the University of Delaware are both more than 1,000 miles northeast of Ruston, Louisiana.  To the west, New Mexico State in Las Cruces is 936 miles away. By contrast, Louisiana Tech will become a member of the Sunbelt Conference Western Division. That means playing intrastate rivals UL-Monroe (35 miles east of Ruston) and UL-Lafayette (185 miles to the south).  Other Sunbelt West partners include Southern Miss in Hattiesburg (240 miles), Arkansas State in Jonesboro (300 miles), South Alabama in Mobile (340 miles) and Troy (440 miles away in southern Alabama). Louisiana Tech Bulldogs sports teams spent $5 million during 2024 on game expenses and travel as a member of Conference USA.  The school could save $1 million or more annually on reduced travel expenses as a member of the Sunbelt Conference Western Division. Louisiana Tech sports fans will now get to enjoy a Saturday, October 10 home college football visit from in-state rival UL-Lafayette. The following week will have the Bulldogs taking a short trip down I-20 to Monroe.  This much-anticipated football game against the ULM Warhawks will fill Monroe’s Malone Stadium on Saturday, October 17. Had the Bulldogs remained in Conference USA, their October football schedule would have included a Thursday night game followed by three consecutive Wednesday night contests.  The league’s annual “made-for-midweek-TV” October schedule would make any serious football program want to leave C-USA at the first opportunity. In all fairness, the move to the Sunbelt wasn’t likely worth $8 million, either. At least this year’s new Sunbelt football schedule (especially during the month of October) will be a nice down payment to build years of renewed fan interest in Louisiana Tech athletics.

The call hits the fire department like any other at first—just another line lighting up, another voice on the other end trying to get words out fast enough to keep up with what they're seeing. Smoke at the bowling alley. That's the message that gets through clean. Everything else comes in fragments. The dispatcher pins down the address, repeats it back, fingers already moving across the board, assigning units before the caller even finishes the second sentence. You've got engines rolling within seconds. Midday, traffic moving steady but not clogged, sirens cutting through it as the first trucks make their way toward the strip where the building sits. When they turn in, they see it. Smoke pushing out of the structure, not pouring out in a full column, but steady enough that you don't have to guess what you're dealing with. It's coming from inside, finding its way out through whatever gaps it can. The front of the building is still intact. No broken windows, no collapse, nothing that suggests the place has already given up. Just that slow, persistent push of smoke that tells you something's burning where it shouldn't be...Sources:https://lascruces.gov/las-cruces-mass-shooting-unsolved-after-35-years/https://www.borderreport.com/regions/new-mexico/las-cruces-bowling-alley-massacre-still-unsolved-after-nearly-4-decades/https://kfoxtv.com/news/local/las-cruces-police-seek-new-leads-in-1990-mass-shooting-casehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Cruces_bowling_alley_massacrehttps://www.krwg.org/regional/2017-02-10/27-year-anniversary-of-las-cruces-bowling-alley-massacre?https://kfoxtv.com/news/crime-news/family-remembers-victim-of-bowling-alley-massacre-investigation-continues Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/kinda-murdery-true-crime-murder-stories--5496890/support.Zevon Odelberg is a true crime podcast host and disability advocate.  Zevon has cerebral palsy and he wants Kinda Murdery to be welcoming community for people with disabilities and for people living with challenges of any kind.  Life can be hard, but being together makes it better.

Las Cruces, New Mexico. On a quiet February morning in 1990, a bowling alley in Las Cruces, New Mexico, became the site of one of the state's most brutal unsolved crimes. 911 dispatch received a distressing call from a 12-year-old who stated seven people had been shot, including herself. Four people, three of whom were children, were killed in the attack. Three decades later, the case remains unsolved.For special episodes and outtakes from Justin & Aaron visit: patreon.com/generationwhyAudible subscribers can listen to all episodes of Generation Why ad-free right now.

February 10th, 1990. Saturday morning in Las Cruces, New Mexico. The place is Las Cruces Bowl—nothing special from the outside. Low building, wide parking lot, the kind of spot people go to because they've been going there for years. Inside, it's exactly what you'd expect. Long rows of lanes stretching out under fluorescent lights, the steady smell of oil and cleaner baked into the wood and carpet. Front counter off to one side where they handle shoes and payments. And behind that, a small office—tight, functional, where they keep the safe, the paperwork, the money from the night before. Mornings like that don't carry much weight. You're not dealing with a crowd yet. It's just opening up—lights, registers, getting everything ready before the first customers drift in. The routine doesn't change. Unlock the doors, count the cash, check the drawers, make sure nothing's off from the previous night. It's muscle memory more than anything. People move through it without thinking. There were seven people inside that morning. Employees getting the place ready, moving between the counter and the office, handling the same tasks they handled every weekend. A couple of kids were there too. That wasn't unusual. Bowling alleys always had that overlap—work and family, people hanging around because they were part of the place, not just passing through it. Nobody's on edge. Nobody's watching the door or thinking about who might come through it.

Keris is joined by Vesper Moore, Meghann O'Leary and Rupi Legha to talk about the launch of Soteria House Las Cruces in New Mexico. They share how Soteria Las Cruces is a home-like residential community program where adults experiencing psychosis or extreme states can find belonging, dignity, respect and healing. They discuss why they want to challenge traditional models of treating psychosis and how approaches like Soteria House are important because they focus on healing, autonomy and understanding rather than labels and hospitalizations.

Last week, you heard Part 1 of Andrew Dixon's story. You learned about Andrew's early life in Oklahoma and how, from the very beginning, his story was complicated. Over time, the patterns he was born into followed Andrew into adulthood.Andrew ultimately left Oklahoma for a fresh start in Las Cruces, New Mexico. After a long-term relationship with the mother of his child had ended, Andrew moved north to Truth or Consequences, hoping to begin again.There, a childhood friend's family opened their home to Andrew while he worked to get back on his feet. Andrew found work and, for a time, seemed to be rebuilding some stability. But in the months before he went missing, another painful setback emerged. A legal situation involving his child's mother left Andrew temporarily unable to see his daughter until the matter was resolved in court. Those who were close to him could see that the loss hit at the center of who Andrew was. Being a father wasn't just important to Andrew; it was the role that mattered most. As that part of his life became uncertain, the strain began to show. He was under pressure, emotionally raw, and trying to hold himself together while facing instability in nearly every direction.Then, in the weeks before Andrew disappeared, something shifted. Several people said he had become increasingly fearful. He believed people were watching him, following him, possibly trying to harm him. He spoke about being tracked, hacked, and pulled into something dangerous. To some, it sounded like paranoia. To others, it was harder to dismiss entirely.The people who cared about Andrew were left with a question that still hangs over this case. Was he reacting to a real threat, or was he being consumed by fear that had lost touch with reality? As investigators and Andrew's loved ones began piecing together the days leading up to his disappearance, they kept circling back to that same unsettling question. With each new detail, the line between paranoia and real danger became harder to see.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Andrew Dixon, please contact the Truth or Consequences Police Department at 575-894-7111.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Ifo reflects on his experiences leading multiple cities, including Eagle Mountain and Las Cruces, and the philosophy that has guided him throughout: falling in love with every city he serves.Ifo and Steve explore the contrasting challenges of managing fast-growing cities versus built-out ones, and dive into economic development strategies, including how to attract data centers and other businesses. Ifo makes the case for post-performance incentives and shares the importance of removing friction so companies can easily say “yes” to calling a city home.

A friendly 40-yard dash bet turns into a sharp tour of modern power: how a U.S. submarine torpedoed an Iranian warship, why CENTCOM is shifting from standoff missiles to stand-in precision, and what that means for accuracy, inventories, and momentum. We walk through the real math of drone warfare and cost exchange, explain how localized air superiority changes targeting, and break down why keeping the Strait of Hormuz open isn't just maritime theater—it's leverage that lands hardest on China's energy supply.We connect the dots between U.S. energy independence, China's dependence on Gulf crude, and the strategic bet that Beijing won't escalate if it risks choking its own oil lifeline. Then we look at the other battlefield: public support. Polls show backing rises if timelines are measured in weeks, not months, which helps explain the throttle-up on precision and pressure. Risk remains real—casualties, miscalculation, and an entrenched IRGC—but timing, targeting, and narrative clarity could define whether this campaign stabilizes or spirals.On the home front, a Supreme Court move resets the debate over parental rights in schools, with district policies in places like Santa Fe, Albuquerque, and Las Cruces now likely to face challenges. We also tackle voter ID momentum—especially among Hispanic voters—arguing that proof-of-citizenship at registration and valid ID at the polls can strengthen trust without depressing turnout. Finally, Texas primaries deliver a turnout shock and a faith-versus-framing clash that may reshape the general, while national indicators tick toward competitive: improving sentiment on the economy, a 50–50 generic ballot, and a presidential approval number that could swing on foreign policy outcomes.If you're tracking Iran strategy, energy geopolitics, school policy, voter integrity, and election signals in one place, this conversation lays out the map. Listen, share with a friend who loves smart, unscripted analysis, and leave a quick review so more curious people can find the show.Website: https://www.nodoubtaboutitpodcast.com/Twitter: @nodoubtpodcastFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/NoDoubtAboutItPod/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markronchettinm/?igshid=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ%3D%3D

Since the Obama years, Andrea Flores, an attorney and immigration policy expert, has worked with Democrats on immigration strategy at the national level. During the Biden administration, she served as director of border management on the National Security Council but left in frustration after realizing that President Biden wasn't going to roll back many of President Trump's border policies from his first administration.Raised in Las Cruces, New Mexico, Flores said that very few policymakers in Washington, D.C., truly understand the border. Democrats, she said, have continually failed to listen to border communities or create policies and messaging to counter Trump's and MAGA's anti-immigrant rhetoric and authoritarian agenda.In this podcast, Flores talks about the culture within the Department of Homeland Security, which hamstrung the Biden administration's efforts at reform, and the division within the administration over how to handle immigration policy changes, which led to confusion on the ground at the border. She also discusses how Democrats stood by while Trump and the MAGA media ecosystem set the national narrative for the border, helping Trump win the election.“We thought we had the public with us, but we offered them nothing in terms of vision or explanation of what we were trying to build,” she said of Biden's first year. “And I fear that could happen again if we just oppose everything President Trump is doing,” she said of Democrats, without offering new policy solutions or standing up for immigrants.Recently, Flores launched a Substack called America's Promise as a forum where Democrats can discuss how to modernize the immigration system and create narratives countering the MAGA movement's fear-based, anti-immigrant messaging, which has dominated the national discourse around migration and the border for years.“My hope for the platform is that people feel better equipped to judge and expect more from their elected officials than just saying ‘I promise immigration reform.' We're going on decades of that promise, right? Get more specific,” Flores said. “Offer something connected to how it's going to help people, especially American citizens. Because when you leave out American citizens from the immigration argument, you too often make it inadvertently an ‘us versus them' issue. But immigrants are of our community. And when the system works well for them, it works well for Americans too.”

Send us a textFrom Nebraska farm fields to the forefront of early rock crawling, Joel Randall picks up his story with Big Rich. After a turbulent childhood, Joel lands in Nebraska, builds a '74 International 4x4, and falls hard for fabrication and off-road life. He dives into mud drags and promoting Midwest mud events, then recounts wild tales—like hauling a 60-foot houseboat across Nebraska and detonating big-blocks on nitrous.Joel shares the moment rock crawling hooked him: meeting Morris Hansen, wheeling Moab's Metal Masher solo, and instantly bonding with Ron “Wild Oats” Pepper before joining magazine runs with off-road legends. He traces the rise of “R-club,” the Currie connection, and how shiny, well-built Jeeps earned respect on the gnarliest trails from Moab to Las Cruces.The episode digs into the birth of organized rockcrawling: the 1998 Las Cruces event (ESPN, cones, and chaos), early results (Jeff/Morris win; Joel 4th), and the rapid evolution from trail rigs to competition machines. Joel talks sponsorships, building a team semi on a shoestring, TV exposure, and the bittersweet shift from family wheeling to full-time competition.Stay tuned for Part 3 coming next week!Support the show

“The Spanish language is not treated with the attention and nuance that we often do for many of the languages used for singing auditions. There's this myth that Americans can't make certain sounds, but in other rehearsals, we work really hard at intense French and German sounds. A lot of composers who aren't familiar with the language set the text in ways that don't make sense and change the meaning. I'd like to keep working at repairing the positionality of Spanish in academic places.”Dr. Ryan R. Fellman is an American conductor based out of the greater Atlanta area.

Jean Olson, age 70, describes her 13 years in the Foreign Service as an “odd and torturous path,” that included a successful class action suit against the federal government. Jean left the Foreign Service (stints in Europe and South America) for her hometown in Wisconsin to be her mother's caregiver and to serve as (volunteer) President of the Village Council. At age 57, and ‘unemployed' for seven years, Jean created a path to retirement. She rejoined the Foreign Service for seven more years, having to start over as a “baby diplomat” — a “lesson in humility.”  Jean choice of Las Cruces, NM. as her retirement home affords her access to a university, a cluster of good friends, affordable housing, and excellent Mexican restaurants. Best of all--no snow shoveling! Since her move, Jean has served on the Board of the New Mexico Farm and Ranch Heritage Museum, worked with a Refugee Resettlement project, and is currently engaged with a children's Literacy program. When I retired from the Foreign Service, I found a home in New Mexico with a university, good friends, affordable housing, and great Mexican restaurants. - Jean OlsonConnect with Jean Email: jean.olson@yahoo.com 

What does it take to build a recruiting firm that survives three recessions, operates across borders, and thrives without retainers? In this episode of The Resilient Recruiter, we spotlight David Fishman, founder of Sparrow Company—a bi-national executive search and staffing firm based in both the U.S. and Mexico. David shares how he rebuilt after nearly losing everything in 2009 and developed a resilient, multi-revenue business that consistently closes $30K+ deals on contingency. With a team of 12 and placements ranging from hourly plant workers to C-suite executives, David proves that long-term success in recruiting isn't about flashy tech or a narrow niche—it's about grit, loyalty, smart diversification, and building client trust. Whether you're a firm owner, solo operator, or team leader, this episode will inspire you to think bigger, act faster, and future-proof your business model. Episode Highlights: [2:30] Why David's recruiting journey started with a family staffing business and a Coast Guard exit [7:00] How the 2009 recession nearly wiped him out—and what it took to survive [16:00] Expanding into Mexico: a single client request that changed everything [24:00] Building a binational team and training his kids to become recruiters [36:00] Why he's not retained (yet), and how he consistently closes $30K+ fees on contingency [47:00] How Sparrow places both plant supervisors and presidents using the same recruiting mechanics [1:06:00] David's multiple revenue streams: recruiting projects, temp staffing, nearshore talent [1:13:00] Why impulsivity is his superpower and what legacy he wants to leave behind Why Diversification is Non-Negotiable After nearly losing his business during the 2009 downturn, David made a key decision: stop relying on one industry or one type of placement. Today, Sparrow Company operates across manufacturing, engineering, mining, supply chain, and IT—placing roles at all levels across North America and Europe. Key takeaway for recruiters: Think beyond niche. Build a multi-layered model across industry, function, level, and geography. 3 Revenue Streams Every Recruiting Firm Owner Should Know To protect against market shifts and add recurring income, David built three revenue lines: Embedded recruiters on short-term contracts Temporary staffing through a dedicated local firm Contract engineers working remotely from Mexico for U.S. clients These offerings helped him scale sustainably, stabilize cash flow, and serve clients more deeply. “Every time we add a new service, it helps us survive another economic cycle.” How to Close $30K+ Deals Without Retainers David works 100% on contingency—but trains his clients to expect fewer resumes and faster, more precise matches. His firm is known for first-candidate hires and high-level execution without the upfront fees. “I'm not retained, but I'm still beating the firms that are. Because I'm hungrier.” About David Fishman David Fishman is the founder of Sparrow Company, a bi-national staffing and executive search firm incorporated in the United States and Mexico.
