    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.
