WHO IS YOUR BIGGEST MOTIVATOR:

Myself by far. I am harder on myself than anyone ever could be on me.

AMBITION IN LIFE:

To achieve success in more than one area of my life; I'd like to have a family and a successful career and not let either suffer. To surround myself with positive people and positive actions.
