FUN FACTS

Won Toastmasters Area Humorous Speech Contest--First place in 2004

During one of Tony Robbins' "Firewalk" seminars I had attended, I walked across a bed of hot coals barefoot without burning my feet. Walking across the hot coals represented overcoming fears that keep me from reaching my goals.

Broke a half-inch thick piece of wood with my bare hands--this was during another one of Tony Robbins' seminars I had attended.  Breaking the wood represented breaking through barriers in my life that have prevented me from reachng my goals.
