I have always loathed talking about myself; to me, it seems so self-righteous. It is very difficult to talk about oneself without feeling a bit uneasy, but here it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I was born in Guatemala and have lived in the United States for most of my adult life. This has given me a somewhat unique view of the world and I like to think that I represent both countries well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has always been my goal to be the very best at whatever I do. I work very hard at it whether it is a family matter, friendships, my profession, or sports knowledge. A delicate balance is required to be successful at all of them. And that balance can be very easily disrupted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Do I feel successful? I feel better about some things than others, but on the whole, I do. I have an amazing family, and good health. I have wonderful friends. I have a very rewarding job. Throughout my career at SIRVA, I have reported to various individuals who have been supportive, but have also empowered me to manage and grow the international military and government areas of our business. I have served as a volunteer for several industry groups and have been elected to the Boards of Directors for the Latin American & Caribbean International Movers Association (LACMA) and the International Shippers Association (ISA). In these roles, I gained and offered insight into many of the vexing issues confronting our industry. These opportunities have made me a better leader for the associations as well as for SIRVA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, if Evan Esar was correct in saying that \u201cSuccess is the good fortune that comes from aspiration, desperation, perspiration and inspiration,\u201d then I suppose that I fall into that category.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
