Who I work with

Everyone wants to win. Only some candidates hate to lose.

I manage races for the second kind. I've been the candidate knocking the five-thousandth door, and I've been the manager reading the returns at midnight. I hate to lose.

If you put in the work, the call time, the doors and the early mornings, I'll put in mine, and I'll help get you there.
