My philosophy is rooted in the belief that each one of us is gifted by God with something unique. We therefore owe it to God, ourselves and our community to discover these unique gifts and abilities. And when we have discovered them, we have to purposefully put them to work not only for the benefit of ourselves but especially to impact and change the lives of others
