It all started in Plovdin, Bulgaria. Adopted from Bulgaria at age 7 was the single best thing that ever happened to me. I had a chance at life, hope, and dreams.  Eventually, my parents would also adopt another two siblings from Bulgaria, yes . . . it’s a pretty cool story!

Today I find myself learning rapidly and enjoying the moments and experiences throughout my career and personal life.  There’s obviously more to my story but I’d rather share the rest with you over a cup of coffee!

Remember this:  Community is everything. People around you do matter and make an effort to let them know. People are the very essence of what it means to be in community.
