    About Me I like long walks on the beach.... hahaha. Yea right! I'm a romantic, but not nicolas sparks romantic. I work at one of the largest bank in the nation as a premier client manager. I am the financial solutions guru, from investments, to real estate mortgages. I may claim to know it all, but in reality i've got a super team that can get me the answers. They're better than wikipedia. Why? Because between me and them, we have "experience" ..
    Music Everything.. Linkin Park is by far my favorite.
    Movies I appreciate a good thinker, but thrillers and action have been my cup of tea, lately.
    TV I try not to watch much, but i get hooked. House is probably one of the only shows i watch on tv.
    Books John Maxwell has been on of my favorite authors. But, for fiction, i'd go with robert lodlum, or john grisham

    What do you want to be?

    Monday, February 18, 2008, 5:45 PM [General]

    One of the underlying questions that we have all heard was "what do you want to do when you grow up"? 

    I've got to be honest. I'm 31 years old, and i still wrestle with that question. Is that an underlying phenomena with me.. Or everyone?

    The bible said, "what does it profer a man to gain the world, but lose his soul".  Perhaps financial prosperity isn't a great indicator of the direction we should go.  However, it seems like the more wealth you have, the more society views that this person knew what he wanted to do from the start.

    I love what i do.. So, I guess in some way.. What i am today, is what i've always wanted to be..

    God i hope no one reads this.

    Jason,



    I agree with your statement. Too many people go chasing after their financial dreams without understanding what truley makes them happy, they end up rich or broke (really doesn't matter) and lose sight of that which is truley important in their lives.



    That doesn't mean we can't have both! I believe we can achieve our financial dreams and keep our "soul". In fact we can enrich our lives and others lives more when we get out of our comfort zone and start to realize that we were all born to be great!



    Wow... It just got deep.
