Working on my grandpa\'s ranch in Montana every summer helped me to learn how to work hard. Living in Brazil for 2 years taught me how amazing people are and how fun and awesome service and helping others can be. And Rock climbing, playing guitar and raising 3 kids have taught me how to be creative and have fun. I\'ve funneled that passion and all my learning experiences into the work I do today. So if you\'re you a human living on planet earth that needs money to buy things and do things, the Educated wallet community is for you-)
