According to CliftonStrengths, competition is my #1 strength, and I’m not afraid to use it.

When I started kindergarten, my goal was to learn something my older brother didn’t know. He was a grade ahead of me and though he had a year head start in school, I was determined. And on the very first day, I accomplished that goal.

Sitting in Mrs. Cline’s class, I was filled with nothing but excitement when she informed us that Santa Claus wasn’t real. My brother didn’t know this yet and I couldn’t wait to get home to break the news. While I didn’t expect to be the cause of my brother’s first childhood trauma, I did accomplished the goal I was chasing. After just one day of kindergarten, I was smarter than a first grader.

This desire to win has never left me. I love to help people and businesses crush their goals because when they win, in a way—so do I.

PS. My brother and I now have a very healthy relationship.
