Favorite Quote…
“The challenge of leadership is to be strong, but not rude; be kind, but not weak; be bold, but not bully; be thoughtful, but not lazy; be humble, but not timid; be proud, but not arrogant; have humor, but without folly.” —Jim Rohn
Biggest Dream… M
for my son to grow up happy, healthy and to follow his dreams, no matter where they take him.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
people that travel and look like they just rolled out of bed. I wish we were back in the 50’s when people got dressed up to go out in public. Gym clothes are for the gym…
