CURRENT MISSION

Live my dream, one day at a time

ABOUT ME

Hey folks. New to CS but looking to get more involved as I love the idea of it as well as the great community focus. I'm a consultant by day and aspiring thought leader and writer by night, but above all I love being around people and hearing and sharing stories and experiences. I'm a runner, reader, writer, leader, eater, friend and I love to travel. I consider myself to be a pragmatic optimist, and I try to find the good in all things.

PHILOSOPHY

Do ordinary things extraordinary. Be kind, help others, work hard, and life will be enjoyable, and successful.
