About Dennis

My passion is helping others to achieve more than just a average life.Over the past 10 years I have taken care of Family members and private client that needed support due to illness or injury. That experience has enriched my life having the ability to help others and give them hope to continue to live; Even during the moments when giving up seems easy to them. Being there for my father when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and bonding with him helping him to extend his life just by being his companion meant a lot to him as well as myself. I am a self -motivated very optimistic person. Loving and compassionate towards others. Respectful and professional.
