I never want to be in a position where I look at the past and say, “That was a better time, I wish I could go back.” Instead, I want to always look forward with gusto and enthusiasm for what’s to come. That being said, it’s vitally important to look back on previous accomplishments to realize the successes that lie ahead. In that spirit, here are a few things that happened to me over the last decade…

• Graduated High School;
• Worked for Federal, State, and Local Governments;
• Worked on a number of political campaigns at every level of government;
• Visited Iceland, France, Switzerland, Greece, Italy, and Germany;
• Was accepted into a top-tier College;

• Moved to and lived in Phoeniz, AZ;
• Accepted the Stevie Award for Best Consulting Sales Organization on behalf of my Family’s Business;
• Was chosen as one of two people to lead the creation of an entirely new division of an international consulting company;
• Bought real estate;
• Lost my Father;
• Lost my Grandmother;
• Was inducted into the Sons of the American Revolution;

I’m enthusiastic about all that’s yet to be accomplished!
