"I feel blessed to have a career that I am truly passionate about. There is nothing else I would rather do for a living. To be able to help someone find hope in the midst of despair, to see someone smile again to regain their self-confidence, and to realize their self-worth is one of the most gratifying feelings in the world. It is a feeling that I will never tire of. I would equate this feeling to seeing my son walk for the very first time in his life."
