What is an OmaHeck...

It is likely you have never heard of an OmaHeck. We kind of made it up. Here's a little history:

When I moved to Utah in 1990, I was introduced to a brand new phrase: "Oh my heck!" I guess it means "wow", "no way", or "that's surprising." It serves as a multi-purpose expression and possibly a swear :-0 (as in "Oh my heck, you are a jerk!)

When the family left Utah and settled in Omaha, NE (2004), we became "OmaHecks."

Pedro Lacks Relevant Political Experience

For the last 3 years, the BYU MBA Marketing Association (MBAMA) has sponsored an end of August retreat in Moab, UT for the first years to get acclimated and associated with the returning students. I have been invited to attend as an alumnus and was asked to present on Marketing, my career, B2B vs B2C and such...

This year I had been in Moab for about 3 days with a customer working on a project in that area. The last morning, I was looking for a clean shirt and came up with my "Vote for Pedro" shirt. I showed up for the Hummer Safari with the students and some of the students were chuckling at my shirt, but they weren't laughing at me. It turns out that Jeremy Coon, one of the producers of the film "Napoleon Dynamite", source of the Pedro shirt, was among the students. We chatted briefly and ended up together on the Hummer Safari at the point where we all got out and snapped some pics, including this one overlooking the Colorado River:

Here are a few other pics from the event.
