"I'm a problem solver. You WANT me on your corporate team!"- Daniel Tosh

On a serious note, I love working in a competitive environment. Put me on a team and we will fight to the finish. Tell me something isn't possible and watch the my creativity flow!

“Never Get So Busy Making a Living that You Forget to Make a Life.” is a quote that I have really taken to heart lately. I still struggle to find that work/life balance. For 6 years, I was making a great living and making a horrible life. Now, I am struggling with the flip side of the equation.
