FAVORITE QUOTES:
“I’ve spent the greater part of 10 years being the technician in every business. I haven’t taken the step to see what I could do on my own and I don’t know that I necessarily want that . I always want the people I’ve met here to be a part of what I’m doing and I think there’s a huge amount of opportunity around me. I’d be dumb to not stick around for that.”
“My biggest goal….I’ve always wanted to serve people and I want to be able to do that in the entertainment side of things, especially pole dancing, with the pole between my cheeks. I’m all about that.”
