Here are my 7 things:

1. I played baseball in high school. I was a pitcher and could throw in the mid 80’s by freshman year. I had quite a good lineup of pitches. I really loved pitching, but my arm didn’t feel right (elbows and rotary cuff) so I never pushed myself on.
2. I used to think getting a tan was considered an activity for a nice summer day. Now that I have wised up I wear spf 30 + when I spend a lot of time in the sun.
3. From a young age I have been drawn to business. I would collect apples from my neighbors apple tree and sell them at a stand. What else was on the stand? Homemade lemonade, of course! I would rake leaves and shovel snow for neighbors, sometimes earning a measly $1 for hours of work. This entrepreneurial nature stayed alive. When I got to college I ran a painting business to pay my way through school.
4. I would rather make less and be more satisfied with my career than earn a fortune.
5. I prefer bars that are laid back. I also prefer bars that have pool tables. My parents house had a pool table growing up but I never perfected my skills.
6. I have the most easy going girlfriend. It makes our relationship quite amazing.
7. Eventually I see myself in a job that has to do with technology, supply chain, and consulting. That would be fun.
