OBJECTIVE
As the years roll by I’ve come to the realization that objective… may be a limiting thing. What I can tell you: I’m passionate about life. I’m multi-talented. I’m ambitious. And most important: experience has brought me to a place where focus and the pursuit of a balanced life is paramount. What that qualifies me for, let’s see, after life threw the odd curveball at me, I’ve discovered many talents: first and foremost: I’m a writer (editorials/novels/fiction/comedy). I’m a photographer. I have a thirst for creativity with a touch of a business mind. I’ve managed, bartended, coached, and I’ve sold.
If you are in the market for a team player who’ll add to the creativity and bottom line of your company, either on a short-term or long-term basis, I’m confident in my ability to add many elements that will help you to reach your goals and I would look forward to hearing from you.
