When I’m not working you can find me… playing golf during the beautiful weather and cooking and grilling. I enjoy exploring new recipes and trying new foods. I also like to play pickleball with friends!

The quote I live by… “I find that the harder I work, the more luck I seem to have”. – Thomas Jefferson.

This quote is a reminder that putting in effort and dedicating yourself pays off more often than not. You won’t always succeed in the things you work hard at, but you will never succeed if you don’t put in the effort.
