I attempt to emulate this quote that hangs in my office. “Risk more than others think is safe. Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible.” ~ Cadet Maxim

Good or bad this is how I live my life and not many can handle this way of thinking. I have heard from many people that you either love or hate me. For those of you that are willing to do the unexpected and expect the impossible, I hope you'll enjoy reading about my experiences and can learn and grow from them. Perhaps sharing my adventures can ease your path or even save you from making some of the same mistakes and show what is possible. That's my goal- to help others.  I have been fortunate to have some great mentors and want to give back because anything can be accomplished if you apply yourself and sometimes that includes learning something from others.
