Everyday I attempt to consume 4,000 Calories and 200 grams of protein. I don't always reach that mark but when I go to bed at night I know that I did the best I could given my schedule and the circumstances that day.

Despite what we may think, we are all talented in our own unique way.

People tell me I'm a perfectionist. They tell me I'm too extreme and that I work too hard. I tell them, that is all I know how to do. I was taught to give my best effort in everything I do and demand perfection and raise the standard of excellence to a whole new level.

The song How do you like me now? By Toby Keith will be my personal theme song when I attend my first high school reunion.

When backed up against a wall, dig deep, demand excellence, stand tall, and be strong.

On your birthday thank your parents and celebrate with them. They are the reason you are here and it is their day too.

We are all capable of living each day with a fiery passion and sense of purpose that radiates in our smile and voice.
