I am…

Here’s the latest rinse of my identity. Use this as a catalyst for your thinking. Identity matters. Your identity informs your character. Are you focused on the names you call you or the ones others attempt to give you? Slow down. Reflect…

I am a work in process.

I am someone who likes to play with fire but only if I’m the one with the matches.

I am on the road less traveled with family, friends, fellow Builders, and clients.
I am transforming from a lone toward all ONE – one L of a difference.
I am not who you think I am, nor who I think I am. I am what I repeatedly do. I am becoming more who I am. God, help me…
