I was born and raised in the beautiful state of Idaho with values including honesty and integrity. I am a diligent and detail-oriented person who holds himself to a personal standard of "if I was paying for this, would my work meet my expectations of a job well done?" Since 2007 I have found inspiration from two wise teachers who said: “perception is reality” and “once you think you know it all, you’ve lost the game.” The take-away is that I believe your perception of your existence is your story, it is valid and irrefutable by others; and when you decide that you don’t need to listen to others anymore, your fate is sealed, and you remain only a snapshot of the moment you walked away from the opportunity to understand, to win. We all learn something new every day, but not everyone is willing to grow.
