Summary

I am a relentless pursuer of growth in all aspects of life. After my Faith and my Family, my career and the team I lead are my main focus. I wake up everyday, thankful to be alive and excited about all the day could bring.

I go into everyday with a winning plan that pertains to the team's goals and how we are going to execute it. I am a team-player and could not be more thankful for all the teams I have gotten to be a part of in my short-career. My day is not complete until the task at hand is. I love projects and learning. My off-the-clock passions are Football and Fishing.
