When you give someone a job, you expect them to follow through. I have no intention of making empty promises. I respect others too much to add fluff to my agenda. We're here to get a job done, so let's do it.
​
Here are my goals. They are based on feedback I've gained from the community. Don't see something here that matters to you? Send me feedback and let's solve it together!
