WHAT I’D EAT FOR MY LAST MEAL:
Anything covered in melty cheese! It would be a toss up between an ooey gooey Philly Cheesesteak or my grandmas lasagna paired with a glass of Whalebone BOB wine.
“I am dedicated to those around me and what I can put into them rather than what I get out of them. My passion is to help others solve problems and grow their business; passion makes the impossible possible. I truly believe in collaboration, trust and partnerships. I believe we can all accomplish much more if we work together, be transparent and be the positive force to build each other up.”
