We are proud of the company we keep. The Pros and the Ambassadors, the difference between an amateur and a professional, is in their habits. An amateur skips the learning process whenever possible, whereas a professional carefully discovers what is needed and fine-tunes it into a profession. A person’s approach to their craft says everything. Being the best in the world isn’t easy, first and foremost, when you’re exceeding 120MPH and thinking that your mind must be surpassing 120MPH to keep moving forward.
