About Me

Let's face it... most of the time I'm a driven, ambitious, and intense guy... and I'm fine with that. I get a lot done.
I'd prefer to be a smartass 24/7, but I have to repress all that and be a good citizen on the job. They have these "rules".
I only have a few key things planned out. The rest I just figure out as I go. Life unfolds organically.
