Description
The life experiences I’ve been fortunate to have and the successes of others are what keep me motivated and bring me happiness.
Understanding that life is a cycle and that happiness is here one moment and gone the next, keeps me moving forward for the good times ahead.
I'm a motivated, easygoing, and dependable person who enjoys helping others and learning along the way. I’m originally from the U.S., and my background is a mix of business, real estate, and hands-on experience — including remodeling a house and driving semi trucks in the Chicagoland area. I’ve also backpacked to 11 countries, which further taught me about adapting, connecting with people, and embracing the unknown.
I’m someone who listens, remembers names, and genuinely tries to add value wherever I go. Whether it’s working on a project, supporting a team, or sharing a laugh, I show up with a good attitude and a willingness to work.
I believe goals are attainable with focus and follow-through, and I’m always open to learning new skills. Currently learning German, how to invest, and how to shoot in manual mode on my camera.
I’m always happy to help where I can, learn where I don’t know, and be a positive part of the space. Let’s see what we can create together!Interests

German: BeginnerMore details about my language interests
I grew up speaking English and Spanish. As a student in primary school, my Spanish teacher would allow me to visit the "preschool" class and teach them basic words and colors. I learned some German on duolingo before and after my trip in 2023 and still use what I recall when I can just to practice it. While on the same trip, I picked up words and phrases in many European languages and would be open to learning more from the continent and other places.Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn
