Who the heck is this guy?!
Privet (я понимаю, немного русский), I am LeRoy.
I really hate third person bios, so I don’t go there.
I am a mid-western guy at heart (read – someday I may have a horse…), but dig the energy of the east coast.
I enjoy progress and for me it happens via equation form: Guts+Hustle=Progress. Find the blog at blog.leroygardner.com –
I enjoy the financial and commodity markets despite folks thinking they’re a precursor to Armageddon – which they’re not.
I love technology and the implications for change.
I can about always go for PB&J but sushi will suffice too.
I am learning more about renewable energy because I think it is a game changer.
I love my family.
Past history includes some wrestling.
Beside the blog above, I also put stuff into the Twittersphere @leroygardner
