Mike Landfair

Mike Landfair is the "unpaid and untitled warehouseman, deluxer and marketing guru" for his wife's business, Landfair Furniture + Design Gallery, a role he assumed following his retirement from a career as a stockbroker. He posts to two blogs, movermike.com and landfairfurniture.blogspot.com, the latter of which he launched in 2005 to boost business at the store. The Landfair Furniture blog's success in serving the local interior design community and retail public has been written up on numerous business blogs, in the Portland Business Journal, and as a success case for a blogging study conducted last year by Northeastern University and Backbone Media. Landfair has a BS in political science and economics, is an avid reader, enjoys writing poetry, and finds abundance, health and joy in the world around him.
