Yes

Graduated from NC State with a degree in Business Management and Economics

Worked on Wall Street in Investment Banking for 4 years right out of College. Spent all of my money going out each weekend and got burned out. Had to get out!

Was recruited by Bank of America in Charlotte and decided it was time to calm down and try to save some money. Worked for 3 years before going back to B-school for an MBA.

Graduated and went into strategy consulting in Atlanta where I ended up traveling to NY every week for 4 years. Got tired of that when my kid started crying every Sunday night when I left.

Landed a job with Lowe's Home Improvement doing strategy work in their business development group at their Corporate Headquarters in Mooresville, NC.

Moved into their sourcing group where I now travel to Asia 3 times a year to visit factories and source product for the items you see in a store.
