Excellence is: When you CARE more than others are able to care; When you GIVE more than others are willing to give; When you DREAM beyond what others think is obtainable.

As a surgical nurse for 30 years it was time for a change. With a wife LaDonna getting chemo and a teenager Amelia I was looking for a career change that would allow me to stay on this side of town and spend more time with the family.
