I started working in relocation on January 28, 1985. At that time, I didn’t really understand what it was, but it didn’t take long for me to catch on.

Recently I learned that the person who molested me at the age of 14 died. I thought when that happened I would feel some kind of emotion.

Growing up, I never thought of myself as being overweight until someone called me “Fatty”. Once that happened, my whole perspective changed. I was very self-conscious about how I looked and what I wore. As a teenager, I wore shirts that hung loose and jeans. Nothing I owned fit tight, was ever tucked in or belted. ... more
I take any task assigned to me very seriously. Working in relocation whether it is pets or people, there are a lot of moving parts. No matter what you do for a living there are always things that can happen, but in people relocation, missing something or making an error on paperwork, doesn’t cost a life. In pet rel... more

Fairy tales that start with Once upon a time are not really fairy tales of love and happily ever after. They are tales of distress, entrapment and normally some horrible outcomes.

Life or death? Those two words have a lot of meanings separate or together. Sometimes one person can hold another person’s life and death in their hands.
