I'm a guy who isn't waiting for retirement to start living my best life.I love a challenge, and I value people. Those two passions have set me on a diverse and highly satisfying journey of life. * Personally, my passions have led to seeing all 50 US states and some 62 countries-- including 2 round-the-world backpacking adventures over the course of my lifetime! The most recent one I just returned from in September 2024.* Career-wise, I have ranged from public speaker, counselor, technology specialist, IT & web designer, videographer, Fleet Manager of a company of mobile clinics, to Operations Manager for a successful start-up company. I have a knack for taking an existing department or business and growing it into the best version it can be through systematic processes and an unwavering commitment to stay the course until the job is complete. Those who work with and for me know that people matter to me, which makes for a good team atmosphere. Those for whom I work know that I do not bring problems; I bring solutions. And if I bring a solution, I will personally see that it is implemented and completed.Whether in my personal or professional life, I intentionally try to make every day count. It's this resolve that has led to an even greater sense of satisfaction in my varied career endeavors.
