I live in Aberdeen, a rural area of South Dakota, where there weren’t a whole lot of high-level career options. I had a number of offers for my next career move, but they all required me to move to Chicago or Dallas, away from Aberdeen. It would have been no different than working for the company I was with for 30 years. Patrice & Associates allowed me to have a lucrative business and live in a beautiful place I love too.
