- When I decided to move to the area it was to teach at a local dealer school then get a job at a casino nearby. Things didn't work out for me in that order and I can't sit by and live off of nothing anymore. I catch myself in a position to find my own motivation. Perhaps that is what I'm looking for. I've always been a team player, and being team oriented I am happy to see those around me succeed even if it's not my turn. I have out of this world references.
