I've been comfortable with acting goofy since I was a young child. The addition of a microphone & recording soon followed close behind. My strongest ability has been my gift to effectively excel at interpersonal communications. I have an opinion on almost everything....just ask. I think it is beneficial to be open and honest, and I expect what I give. If I haven't done something before, I am NOT afraid to tell you and fearless in my effort to do the job. I expect both sides to come out ahead for breaking new ground. We all believe in fairness. I believe we all know ourselves best, and it is my desire to know the story of other people and what makes them unique. I take your business desires and turn them into fulfilled goals for better company optimization. If I can bring a smile to another person's face and remain unforgettable, I have achieved personal success.
