“Okay! Here we go!” Say that with as much energy as you possibly have. Did you, do it? Great. 

Now you know how I feel every morning when I jump out of bed! 

I am born and raised in California, Northern California, to be exact, in a little small town where many people drink wine.

Our small town was community focused, encouraged others, motivated each other to be the best we can be. 

That is something that is a part and I continue to help and motivate others to this say. 

At a very young age I was told that I have great ability to promote products and generate long lasting relationships. 

Which is why I enjoy working in a sales and service role.
