Life Goal: I want to honor God in all that I do. I am constantly going through a refining process from God that makes me a better husband, manager and father. I tend to be very black and white, so sometimes relationship building is a challenge for me, but God is teaching me a lot about relationships and leading others effectively. I try to work hard on me, because that is what God expects of me. If I work hard on me (attitude and expectations), then my marriage, career and other important aspects of my life will be a blessing to God.
