Imagine scuba diving off the coast of Aruba, snorkeling with manta rays and sea turtles, windsurfing, and book-reading on the beach with your favorite people. Yes, I love stepping off a plane in the tropics, which is why I'm Caribbean-bound as often as possible. It's not always blue waters and rum runners served in coconuts though... So if we hit it off, remind me to tell you about the time I came face to face with a 7-foot sand
shark... Monday through Friday, I'm a general contractor. It's rewarding to solve real-world problems and see big vacant lots turn into shiny new homes. But my favorite part is driving past an old job site and seeing a happy family playing in the front yard. Balance is important to me. At the end of the work day, I like hitting the gym for a few aps in the pool or knocking out my free weight routine. After, I might call up some friends and throw an impromptu BBQ, complete with fresh steaks and my almost-famous potato salad. It pairs nicely with a decent bottle of wine...
