Kind of a Big Deal
I have loved problem solving since i was a kid (a lo--ong time ago). I have run my own handyman business, trained and worked in electronic communications, then in I.T. Finally worked as a personal counselor, prompting people to understand and then to solve their own problems to suit their life. i am a member & participant of the Repair Cafe movement.
