A quick introduction:
I’m from New Jersey (North NJ with lots of woods and farmland). Being the oldest of 6 kids, early on, I found my strengths in problem solving, adapting, and communicating. I love looking for creative ways to increase efficiencies, and am easily delighted when I can use my Tetris skills in the real world like loading a dishwasher or packing a car trunk.
