I grew up in St. Joseph, Mo and graduated from Missouri Western State University with a Bachelor of Science degree in social psychology. I was raised in a very entrepreneurial household, my father ran his own business and both sets of my grandparents were self employed! Favorite quote: "Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, it is the stuff life is made of" - Benjamin Franklin I've loved that quote forever, I guess that is why I am committed to living in the now and enjoying life to the fullest with an attitude of gratitude.
