My life motto is to laugh no matter what, that's my therapy. Even if you fall down the stairs, life is too short to go around whining about what I could've done better, just keep going there is no room for BS. So for every situation I have a smile on my face. Mark Twain couldn't have said it better: "The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter.''

Going gets tough by The Growlers, moving to New York was a big change for me and every situation has been a challenge every since I moved. It's a lesson everyday but it's been so fun and it has made me so much stronger.
