One word to describe your work environment: Dynamic
Rules to live by in business: Form a business plan around a well-thought out strategy that you believe in 100%. It is not only the project that must be sound!
If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead, but not related to you) who would it be and where would you go? Roger Federer following a stellar win against Novak Djokovic at the 2007 US Open!
What is your DREAM job? (something other than your current job): It is my current job, which is really a lifestyle. A far second would be running a vineyard.
