My Story

I like to find the fun in life and have the 7 Natural Wonders of the World on my Bucket List (2 down..5 to go!) I also find it best to take work much more seriously than you take yourself.

How I Invest

I'm on the prowl for high-growth, riskier stocks. But, I also am a strong believer in long-term dividend reinvesting in a Roth IRA.
