Summary
I am a problem solver who continues the quest for knowledge and has a thirst for the answer. The unknown is what I seek. Gaining wisdom by experience whether it ends in a positive or negative outcome challenges my mind and skillset. This is the process of learning how to strive for something greater and continue the quest for wisdom and achieve the knowledge and thirst I have for the unknowns..
