INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE

CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES

2014 was a difficult year for me. I was hit with professional problems, family problems, and some health problems. I didn’t think I was where I needed to be professionally because of all this. I really had to try to keep my confidence up, bring value to the show, and realize I had to keep bringing my best to work. I kept longing for joy in my life and kept looking for things to fulfill me. I realized I wanted to get back into motorsports racing because that was my passion. So I am still doing some of the things I was doing professionally, which I enjoy, but I now work in a niche that fulfills me.

FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE

The first car I bought a 2010 Hyundai Elantra, and it had been a rental car. I was able to buy the car myself, and I didn’t owe on it after I got it.

BEST AUTOMOTIVE ADVICE

You’re only original once.

RECOMMENDED RESOURCE

I enjoy Oprah because she opens the doors for vulnerable conversations.

RECOMMENDED BOOK
