Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
It is never a smooth road. Life is always unpredictable. The beauty of it is the journey. Learning along the way and overcoming the challenges while discovering more about yourself. No one truly knows what is next but what we can count on is that everyday will be different and always lead us to a choice of who we want to be, what we want to do with it, and what kind of legacy we want to leave.
Thanks for sharing that. So, maybe next you can tell us a bit more about your work?
I own a media company that specializes in marketing consulting for businesses. I am a creative through and through. I have been an artist since birth. and went to school for graphic design. I am a professional photographer, am a 2x international best selling novelist. I am working on starting a youtube channel and writing screenplays. I am interested in many things that are not art as well. I went back to school for sports nutrition and owned a health and wellness practice for several years and am also working on creating a wine bar in Spring, Texas. I love people and their stories and love wine for its ability to gather people in a relaxed atmosphere to share those stories and enjoy the greatness of life.
How do you define success?
Through the ability to stand in front of God with a clean conscience knowing I am trying ot do what is right. Working toward building better character and helping others along their journey. I believe that success is not defined by status, power, money, or position but by truth.
