"I'm a passionate person, so when I get involved I get REALLY involved!" I came up with this quote while watching the 2012 NBA finals. I have never been a fan of b-ball, but as I was spending a little "QT" with my guy I got pulled into the game--and now I am officially a Miami Heat fan! That is a just small example of how I commit myself to the things I love. I'm extremely passionate about entrepreneurship, and I know owning my own business is my path to a life of creative freedom, financial stability, productivity, and personal fulfillment. I have 3 beautiful girls, and I'm proud to be their first role model. By following my own dreams, I hope to show them that our potential is unlimited, and that greatness is within.
