Why me: Why not? Most importantly...

Frankly, I dislike work. I came to this realization a few years ago. Back then, I had a very good job with a top-shelf company, yet I was spending an inordinate amount of time wondering if "this" was "as good as it gets". Rolling out of bed in the morning is hard if you don't have a reason. Nothing to live for. This continued for a period of time. Finally, one fine summer's day, I knew that I had had enough; I called in, announced my resignation, returned the laptop, packed my bags, got in my car, and went on a very, very long drive.

Today, I work to live, not live to work. My philosophy is simple: live well while working as little as possible. So I trade high-impact expertise for cash, and spend the cash on fast cars and fast sports, and they all lived happily ever after.

Let me tell you a little about something else. I'm a perfectionist. Unfortunate but true. It's physically impossible for me to produce something inferior. Equally, once I start something, I don't stop until it's done. So I don't start very many things, and I make sure that what I do start will be worthwhile. In other words, it should be in good taste, and it should be throwing geysers of money in my direction.

Are you made for me?
