    Lots of things.
    Loved Football and Basketball so growing up obviously wanted to go pro, like I believe lots of guys do.
    Train conductor when I was really small, I loved Thomas the Tank Engine.
    A pilot at one point in time.
    Somewhere along the line I learned the value of a dollar and math so I became an accountant xD

    Two things, a Mom and a nurse. I guess I've always wanted to care for others since a very young age. I work in the field of caring for clients with Alzheimers and Dementia, and I'm a damn good Mom. I win at life! 💕

    This is cute asf! Plus you got good taste in music 😎 they took that thread down btw!

    Yea, wtf?! I got all these notifications and the thread was gone! I was not a happy camper!

    I swear it wasn't me.......But not gonna lie I thought about asking if whips and chains excite you but I didn't think we were there yet as you just let me stand under your umbrella haha!

    No I'm not sure what happened. There was some beef between some users that was brought on the thread, thinking they shut it down after that.

    About a gazillion different things...what it was would just depend on what day or week it was.

    I followed in the footsteps of most of my family and became an accountant. It's not glamorous, but it's in the blood and came easy for me as far as understanding it and getting through school and my career. I spent 6 years as an auditor with a CPA firm which was both fun and interesting and I had interest in becoming a forensic accountant and fraud examiner, but working for a firm is long hours and lots of travel.

    Ultimately decided I really wanted to be a dad and have a family and be able to spend time with them. I work in government now and I'm the CFO of my agency. It can still be demanding, but not as demanding as being with a CPA firm.
