WHAT I’VE LEARNED FROM LIFE

I don't wait for ideal circumstances.

Growing up in a family that built businesses - specifically Bernie’s Cakes and Catering, Weirdo Willie’s smoke supply shop, a door-to-door Avon stint, a Georgia-based law firm called Hooper & Honore, and that one time my mom and I sewed thirty bags for the 2004 Women’s Cycling team - taught me to solve problems rather than be stopped by them.

Limited budgets.

Limited time.

Limited staff.

Unexpected obstacles.

Those are creative challenges, not roadblocks.

If there is a story worth telling, I'll find a way to tell it.
