I often wonder what I should be when I grow up. I have come to a point in my life where I have a pretty good handle on who I am, how I’m wired, what drives me, and what stirs my soul. The question that I come to is how do I tie that all together in my life? I very much enjoy what I do, and it does fit who I am.
