"I only consider myself an ordinary person however who can sometimes accomplish extraordinary things." Hana
"My purpose is to inform, educate, and hopefully to inspire." Hana
“Do not seek to merely be a part of history. Rather, be one who makes history.” unknown
“The important thing in the Olympic Games is not to have won, but to have taken part, just as the most important thing in life is not the triumph, but the struggle. It is not just significant to have conquered, but to have fought well.” Baron Pierre de Coubertin
I hope to be an inspiration to others of what is possible when one has big dreams and aspirations. Ultimately, whether it is in sports, volunteering, my business serving my clients needs, or trying to be the best parent I can be for my children, I want to be successful in life itself and hopefully leave behind a legacy for those who love me.
