My name is floater and I have lived in Oklahoma City since I was seven. I've lived in other places since then, but I have always been an Oklahoma Citian. I too am a graduate student. I currently reside in Ohio, but am intent on returning to the city I have come to love.

The current mission of my existence is finding out what it takes to keep the city's best and brightest in Oklahoma City. I am happy that city leadership has finally realized that the key to sustainable economic development is attracting people. In the end, that's all a city has to offer. Whether you're on the plains (Dallas), close to mountains (Denver), on an urban island (Manhattan), in the desert heat (Phoenix), or in the dead of cold (Minneapolis) if you have energetic and creative people, you will not only survive, but grow.
