A life changing event. No more trucking. No more hotels. No more racing promotions.


Now on to an office job, domesticity and greater financial reward. I'll miss the truck and the freedom but not the headaches.

I did good.

I'll train as a financial consultant starting May 15th.

I could use some good luck wishes. A big step off into the unknown.



HELLO WORLD!

5. Thanks.
I should have done this 20 yrs ago.

This is a sales position. I have to sell myself in order to make a living. My brother is in the business and he quoted Bear Bryant to me: "If you won't be beat, you can't be beat"

My new mantra
