About
Myself:
My long-term goal in life is to own and operate my own business.
In order to achieve this I have set short-term goals which include
working for an executive who I believe in and who inspires me, however
the industry is relatively unimportant as I have a general thirst for
knowledge. I increasingly have been keeping up with world news,
technology, software and product information and updates, via websites
and blogs. When I’m not reading, I maintain a personal website, an
informal blog, cook (I was a line cook, prep cook and a caterer for
various establishments) and have an overall appreciation for food, beer,
wine and spirits.
