  After nearly 15 years working with Hackensack University Medical Center I've decided it's time to work for myself and enjoy all that life has to offer. So if we ever really return to "normal" I'm going to focus on scuba diving, photography, travel, walking my dogs and generally relaxing. If I have any advice to offer it's Save your pennies, contribute the max to your pension, and get out while you're young. Covid-19 demonstrates you never know when "then" is "now" and you never get a 2nd chance. Life has no reset button. Thanks to everyone I worked with along this wonderful journey. I wish you all the best and hope to see you on a remote beach someday! Show less
