CURRENT MISSION

Moving Forward

ABOUT ME

I am what I am, and that's all that I am...well that and a few tricks up my sleeve. The most important thing I have learned in my 33 years of existence is to fall forward. It's easier to get up and you learn faster when you land on your face and not your ass, plus you're still moving forward, not falling back.

PHILOSOPHY

"In the end, the only thing you have is the reflection in the mirror and the shadow that follows."

I will work 150% on everything I do, and I enjoy coming home from work dirty...it's an honest day. I hope that one day someone else will come along and be even better, because then you know what...we're moving forward.

FALL FORWARD

Decide.Commit.Succeed.
