I work in DMV checks and credit processing, so I talk to a lot of angry people every day and deal with a lot of logistics. Right now, work is crazy so I can’t listen to music.

I’m a runner, so eating healthy is very important to me. I’m looking into starting a health and supplement business, and reading a lot of business books. I started running in 2010 when I was going through a breakup after a 3-year relationship. It was long enough that I had to run from it. Then I started getting into running marathons.
