About

Nothing is further from the truth than the following statement: "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." We are all here because of the teachers we had. Whether it is success in the classroom, nonprofit or in the business world, someone must teach us the ins and outs. Regardless of the setting, that teacher is me. Passionate, curious, dedicated, enthusiastic are some of the adjectives I use to describe myself. Sempre Avanti.
