Hello everyone, thank you for visiting my blog and I am pleased that you have. So this is where I get to tell you a little about myself, how I got here and to share with you the idea behind, “Think Diagonal”

First let’s start with, “Think Diagonal” this is my metaphor for that old saying, “Think Outside the Box” I am a chess player, I am an average player in skills, but what I lack in skills, I make up for in distracting you from your game. I love to get into your head and cause chaos. Think Diagonal is a term that I took from the game of chess.

The knight although not the most valuable piece on the board, it is the only piece on the board that can “jump over” pieces to capture an opponent, and moves in a diagonal fashion across the board. All other pieces on the board cannot advance with another piece in its path, so although there may be more powerful pieces on the board, and be worth more in value (chess pieces are numbered according to strength and significance) the knight is unique in its ability to move diagonal around the board and leap/jump to accomplish it mission or capture its opponent. This is my reason for resonating towards this concept for marketing businesses.

Let me briefly explain, in business, at least in my case and I’m sure for many of you as well, you will not always get the “welcome mat” to success. You sometimes need to jump, leap or go around someone or something to achieve your business goals and that is how I approach all challenges in life whether it may be business or personal, this is how Think Diagonal was born.

I started my massage career as a personal trainer and then as a physical therapist assistant, it was working as a PT assistant that I decided that I wanted to become a massage therapist. My thinking at the time was to work part-time as a massage therapist and pursue my hobby of making beef jerky into a business, but I became so busy as a massage therapist that I was not able to do anything with the beef jerky idea. My life as a massage therapist was born and in this blog I will reveal to you all the things that I have seen and learned in this business. And share with you my future goals and how I will try and make an impact on this profession, I have many idea’s that I would like to share with you, especially when it comes to creating a “hands off’ business model for massage therapist that will supplement their income.

More about me, after surviving Meningitis that had me just hours away from dying, I now live my life with a purpose. I love spicy foods and my spicy girlfriend, Doreen who is also my business partner and someone who is very dear to me. I love playing chess, riding my Ducati when the weather is nice, my Duc is actually my stress-relief activity, I love to work-out and run also. You can always find me at Santana Row taking in the sights and working on my laptop. I make the best tasting beef jerky around with low sodium and no preservatives or additives. Jazz concerts, Las Vegas, Harbin Hot Springs, Napa and going shopping (spending money) are some of my favorite things to do.
