- Former Career:
- Much of my career has revolved around public speaking and communication of information to those with little or no experience in said area. To that end I try to make the concepts being taught accessible, easy to understand, and interesting. The last 5 years of my professional career has been spent in the service and retail industry including Wal*Mart, Target, and Best Buy. With the type of experience I've acquired in public speaking, multi-tasking, and task delegation I've become quite adept at teaching and feel I am better for the experience I've received.
