I've been a Democrat-leaning Independent ever since I became an American citizen in 2006. In the last three presidential elections I've voted for the Democratic Candidate for president. For the mid-term elections I've voted for candidates of all political stripes, my decision as to which candidate to vote for has been based on their specific policy positions as oppose to whatever party they belong to.

I'm a salesman, businessman, and humanitarian at heart.

One Paycheck Away from Disaster
I've been fired once, and laid off once. I was out of work from January 2011 until November 2012 after being fired from a financial institution shortly after New Year's Day due to several errors I made. I was lucky that the company was found to have not given me sufficient training and was thus awarded unemployment insurance in the amount of $430/week, for a year. In my previous job, I'd been earning $41,000/ year, living in an apartment with a rent of $950/month I had $16,000 in savings. In addition, that year, I got a tax refund of about $3,000.

The one thing all my successful clients did: They had a monthly budget which they adhered to with strict discipline.

Embrace Technology, Unleash Your Independence
Growing up, I loved technology, used it, but never saw myself as a technologically-talented individual. My favorite subjects in school were English, History, Social Studies, and Geography. I’ve always been comfortable with using a computer, but beyond doing research on the internet, producing word processing documents, and playing PC games, my confidence in my ability to play around with a computer was very limited. Everything changed for me in January, 2012.
