Additional Information
Although project work per se can be demanding and time consuming I have been able to balance multiple facets of life . My wife passed from melanoma skin cancer after giving birth to twin daughters, Our oldest son was run over on a sidewalk in Fort Lauderdale at 100 mph and survived, so i have spent a considerable time assisting in his rehab and life after as a traumatic hemi-pelvetic injuries. Life can be both tough and rewarding without these life changing events but we all have to carry on. Just like in a project , people have to work together to produce a successful conclusion so is life.
