Some might say witty, while others will say creative. Perhaps it's an expression of intrigument? Regardless of perspective, my lifelong enamourment with the unseen forces that drive our daily lives propels me in a manner that can only be described as auspicious.
With experience spanning more than 17 years, I have developed a gritty passion for outperforming competitors and knowing what is needed to achieve success. I lace up my boots to the smell of coffee and that assuring Mac start-up tone. No format to fickle, no demand too daunting. I welcome challenge but am graceful in defeat. Criticism is not humbling, it’s a suggestive usher toward an outcome of more likely success. Let’s shake hands, roll up our sleeves and kick progress in the pants.
