Three Things You Don’t Know About Me:
- I have always enjoyed art, drawing in pencil and painting on canvas. I have never sold any of my drawings or paintings, but did give one away. Probably best I became a CPA since I probably would have been a starving artist otherwise.
- I have been known to read books on business on my vacation. What can I say, I find them interesting.
- I have never been to Europe. However, one of my bucket list items is to travel to Ireland to research my ancestral roots.
