It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare; it is because we do not dare that things are difficult.” SenecaI am a strong believer in equality and inclusiveness regardless of the type of hat that is worn. Every idea is valid and worthy of exploration. Everyone from every walk of life has experience and wisdom that is valuable and may offer great potential.I do my best to keep an open mind and learn from varying sources to maintain a balanced and multi dimensional perspective. I have benefited from this in my work in the building and construction industry where I have worked in the trades building and fabricating then to a seat on the architectural floor as a draftsman and then into estimation and management. I know equally what it feels like to have a hammer and saw in my hand as a pen and a mouse.
