Day 1 vs. Day 3,652 @tesla - Celebrating my 10 year anniversary at Tesla today!

After a decade at Tesla, I feel incredibly honored for all of the achievements our company has completed including an estimated 7,516,772 vehicles delivered during my tenure.

Looking back, it has been beyond challenging while being one of the most rewarding companies I have ever worked for. The non stop commitment to changing the world to be a better place by transitioning the world to sustainable energy (abundance) is driven by the most talented, driven individuals that solve the toughest problems most others would never ever touch. We are encouraged to fail fast, learn from it, and implement improvements and solve the problem. Every day feels like a new day, it never feels the same and this is what makes working for Tesla so exciting.

I started at the ground level as an owner advisor in our location in Walnut Creek CA. Now, I am fortunate to work on North America Sales Operations overseeing US, Canada, and Latin America including Signage, Business Generation and many other projects I cannot speak about....wink wink.

I am so thankful to my wife for all of her support over all of these years, I would be lying if I didn't almost give up many times but she kept me grounded and gave me confidence to continue going and to look at all of the positives vs. negatives @LatorresPack

Thank you to @elonmusk for being a visionary leader! Your inspiring drive has fueled my decade-long journey at Tesla, and I'm grateful for your unmatched innovation

Thank you to @troyrjones for recruiting me from the watch industry. You are an absolute inspiration and I have looked up to you since day 1.
