Dennis’ Comments:
This business can be all absorbing. My approach has been to find the best way of getting it done, while maintaining a sense of balance between my work and my family. Having the opportunities to go out and document the lives of others and pass that information to those that benefit from their stories brings me great satisfaction. With regards to workflow, I'm constantly seeking ways to enhance my approach to create a great product, save money (time), and make it to my daughter's soccer game.
