About Me

How to describe myself?
I'm a bit of a contradiction in some ways. A human swiss army knife.
I perform many roles. Like I tell my kids, you can do hard stuff. I say that mainly to remind me that I can do hard stuff.
It's rare for me to back down from a challenge unless I am picking my battles for a bigger challenge.
Who am I? I can only roll with the quintessential elements that make up a person in a commercial context.
In terms of what people pay me and/or show appreciation for: I'm a problem-solver, a performer,
a business developer, a writer, an artist, a leader, an organiser and I have a reasonably technical brain.
I'm an achievement-oriented fulla who doesnt mind getting his hands dirty but I'm equally adept at building relationships.
