Service

"...productive work is the process by which man's consciousness controls his existence, a constant process of acquiring knowledge and shaping matter to fit one's purpose, of translating an idea into physical form, of remaking the earth in the image of one's values--that all work is creative work if done by a thinking mind..."
- John Galt



If I had a mission statement or motto it would probably be: cutting the red tape of life. I like to increase productivity and efficiency for myself and those around me in any way that I can. I'm always on the look out for resources or methods that could simplify lives or save people time. Saving people time on tasks that are not their main focus will allow them more time to do better work related to their main focus.
