I possess an innate curiosity that drives me to explore and collect various things that capture my interest. While auctions for art, furniture, and decorative objects bring me joy, my true passion lies in accumulating information. I continuously gather and compile a vast array of knowledge and visual imagery in my archives, as it keeps my mind stimulated and fresh. My mind is naturally drawn to countless intriguing subjects, making it challenging to predict when I might need the information I have stored. However, I firmly believe that one day it will prove its value. For instance, I was entrusted with the task of designing a gift wrapping room (for the hundreds of gifts the client gave annualy) capable of doubling as a panic room. This project involved creating a comfortable, luxurious seating area and installing a television tuned to the Hallmark Channel, providing solace during home invasions. Another remarkable endeavor was designing a house within a multi-home estate exclusively inhabited by 28 cats. I also had the opportunity to craft a kitchen within an 1883 Victorian building, seamlessly blending it into the period aesthetics while ensuring compliance with commercial codes and ADA standards, despite its intended use as a commercial kitchen.My expertise lies in absorbing and analyzing information, which greatly influences my creative problem-solving and strategic thinking. This approach allows me to make informed decisions and achieve optimal outcomes. Although my brothers have pursued careers in academia as college professors, I have always gravitated towards using my vast collection of facts, data, and ideas in various professional roles. Throughout my career, I have consistently acted as a resource for my employees and colleagues, employing my knowledge to mentor, train, and support them in leveraging valuable information for their own benefit and that of the organization.
