Do you ever find this industry to be superficial? I mean, I've made some great connections along the way, but a lot of the culture is just not for me. People seem to care about the wrong things

I hope I’m not superficial…. I feel like I have the best job in the world… I get to help my clients, my team and my community.

I am active in local groups supporting the community such as Rotary, the tourism committee, festivals and the food bank. Additionally we give generous donations such as buying all the turkeys needed for the Thanksgiving baskets, annual donations to all the animal rescues in town and to go fund me projects as asked. We also help several local non profits with their 990’s

I definitely love to talk with you. I thought the same thing at times
