    Personal Quote Live your life with passion, and make the most of every day.
    About Me I'm the CEO and President of CJ Ventures, Inc., which includes Medical Mingle, Absolutely Health Care, and Rehab Options USA, Med Options USA, and Nurse Options USA. I'm married to my high school sweetheart Robin for 28 years, have two terrific kids, Cary and Jessica, and we have a small zoo in our home, with 3 Huskies, and 2 cats. We live on a lake in Lake Worth, FL, which is in Palm Beach County.
    Music Love Smooth Jazz, Classic Rock, R & B, and Popular Music.
    Movies I like action movies and comedies.
    TV
    Likes I love to travel, exercise, attend sporting events, comedy, and the theatre.
    Dislikes The opera and the ballet, which I need to go to from time to time to make my wife happy.
    Hobbies I consider our company as both my job and a major hobby. During the workday, I work to generate business and help our customers. During down time, I often spend time to think and come up with innovative ways to improve our business, products, and services. It is a joyful task that never ends. My newest hobby is Medical Mingle, which has been a lot of fun to meet and interact with our members.
    Smoke No
    Drink Yes
    Virtues Hard working, loyal, caring, and generous. I love doing nice things for other people.
    Heroes I can think of a few, but one is Alonzo Mourning with the Miami Heat, who has overcome serious illness, and plays basketball with the type of tremendous passion that I have for my job and for our company. He is also a fine person that does for others through Alonzo Mourning Charities.
    My Profession President & CEO - MedicalMingle.com
    A Bit About My Job I'm the leader of a team that has created a unique set of recruitment tools for the health care and medical field, and have packaged them in a way that no one else has. The buck stops here in trying to keep over 1,000 client companies happy in an industry, where there are endless openings, and not enough talent to fill them. This makes for an interesting job, as no matter how hard we try, it's virtually impossible to keep everyone happy all the time. However, we try to do our best, and just keep on working at improving at all times. We've helped hundreds of thousands of job seekers over the years, so it's rewarding to know that we've helped a tremendous number of people.

    I need help finding a job! I am sooo ready to start my career as a nurse and feel like a contributing member of society. I have a multistate license. There are no jobs here in this area of Ms. Do you know anything about temp licenses in Alabama? Plenty of jobs there. I live about 1 hour away from Alabama Thanks

    I am going to do the same, but I will be eating while doing my exercise. I plan to take my morning walk and my hot oatmeal along with me in a cup. I am getting good at multi- tasking now.

    Hey I saw your comment from back in Oct, sorry for not responding sooner! :-P It's actually my parents dog, so I don't take her when I travel. I would LOVE to have my own dog, but working 12 hr shifts would make it kinda tough for her to stay at home by herself all that time.

    She was just trying to make it easier on you and her..... The warmer weather will probably make things a bit easier anyway
