About Me:
Moved from New Jersey to New Mexico. According to Myers-Briggs personality testing I'm an ENTP (Google it).
About 80% of the time I'm incredibly lazy. But in the other 20% of the time my short spurts of intense work tend to produce good results.
"A talented team will lose to a determined team nine out of 10 times, because a determined team isn't going to give up. But a talented team with determination is what champions are made of."
