What unusual skills or talents do you have that makes you an Individual?
Over the life of my career, I have found that I am a healer of words and I have never settled for anything less than I can become. That sums it all.
What is the best thing about your job?

What is your ideal vacation?
Italy to visit with my family’s heritage. And we love to take our boat out on Lake Murray and just be in awe of nature and the beautiful wildlife on the lake. We also love to fish!
