Be Forward and Direct. State the problem statement upfront. I do not get defensive or insulted easily, however this means I can come off harsh. Please do not be offended, I do not mean it personally. Since English is my second tongue, my lack of accent fulls natives, and read too much into my statements. I work when I want, and play when I want. I maintain the balance by listening to my body. I meditate and stretch to relax or go for a short drive in scenic Colorado when I get cabin fever.

Daily routine: 9 AM Sync with my team
Lunch: Do a Wet-Fast (work through) or eat a Big Feast (alternate depending on size of dinner night before)
By CoB: Wrap up todo for the day and update systems with latest info for leadership. Sometime this stretches into 7 PM.
