Why I Am DifferentWhen I’m in, I’m in! Whether through passion or my competitive nature, I have always jumped into a position or project with my full attention. It has been said that my glass is neither half full nor half empty, but always filling because I believe we can do more, be more, achieve more, and make things better than they were before. Some would say I may be the eternal optimist, and at times that would be accurate. But it also means, I love a good challenge! I also believe, because of my faith background, that each person and each day have a plan and a purpose. Which in turn means, we should make the most of each day and each relationship. I love things that go fast, being on the lake and long 10K runs (that I don’t do so fast, but I do it 2-4 times a week. A friend of mine said, I was just slowing down the slowing down). I would love to connect with you, so reach out if you want to talk about what motivates you, or about business successes or challenges.
