Accomplishments
In 2009, employee of the quarter, resulting in employee of the year for punctuality, attendance, and team appreciation.
When not at work, I do enjoy spending time with family, exercise, Sunday softball, and Astros
Family time is a way of my life. I grew up in a close nit family, so we're together most weekends and some vacations. My father loved bodybuilding and my late mother was a runner. I grew up playing soccer, basketball, football, and track. Exercise is just way of life for me. All these things made me the person I am today. I consider myself as a family orrientated, welcoming, friendly person, who believes in hard work mixed with play.
