  <biography>I definitely fit the bill of someone you  would describe as a workaholic...but I'm the CEO of a start-up so really, it's to be expected!!

When I was a young kid I decided that I would never just have a job or just work.  My work would always be part of who I am and what I do.  At 17 I joined the Marine Corps and found myself being a Marine.  It wasn't my job it was who I was and still am today.  When I got out of the Marine Corps I knew I wouldn't be able to work for anyone else.  So I started my first business.

The first business was a learning experience (a failure) and now I've turned my life into WhyGoSolo!

I'm a very passionate person that's driven to make a difference in the world.  I have a pretty decent sense of humor, I'm easy-going, straight forward and I enjoy meeting new people and having fun.</biography>
