Below is my annual review for 2012. I publish this, not because I think I did a great job or had an enormously successful year, but so that if you are looking to do something like this, this is a way to do it. I’m sure there are better ways to do this, but I thought I start with what I have. I would enjoy any comments or feedback that you would like to send my way.
