Wow, where to start.  I joined the Army national guard at the age of 17.  Up to that point I had a few odd jobs, summer hire work, mowing lawn, baby sitting, what ever I could do to earn money.  I was raised as what is well known as an Army brat.  My father didn't believe in giving money to any of us boys.  So it was up to us to earn it any way we could.  In High school I got a job with KFC, as well as being in the Army National Guard.  The national guard would end up taking most of my direction for the next few years.  I spent 3 years in training over the next 5 years.  Between which I was in college and odd jobs.  In the midst of not knowing where I was going I got married and started my family.  In 1990 was my first experience with MLM.  It took off quick and I started finding a lot of success.  Unfortunately the state closed the company down 6 months later.  The state was head hunting everyone in those days.  Even Amway was walking on ice.  I then would dabble between a few different mlm's.  One of them took me to the financial services industry and I found myself there for a while.  That business led me to the mortgage industry, which again began to bring me much success.  After a few years I sold my mortgage business to move into the medical field.  Once again the national guard would send me to school.  After finishing school, although I loved learning about medicine, I realized that I didn't want to make a career in it.  I then partnered in a successful construction company.  It met its demise in 2001 when my partner died in an auto accident.  The hard part was finding out that he had embezzled hundreds of thousands of dollars out of the company before his death.  Having lost everything and having to start over, I was about sick of being self employed.  So I took on a few jobs over the next few years.  In 2006 I took on a job as a Branch Manager of a reputable mortgage company.  As you know the mortgage industry has taken a lot of hits this year, and continues to do so.  It was about September of 2008 that I decided to look into mlm's again.  So for the past few months I have been researching and continue to do so.  Even though I have had some challenges over the years, there has always been one constant in my life, and that is my family.
