Damian Farrell loves entrepreneurship so much, he won't let anything get in the way of his pursuit of it.

Excerpt:

Damian Farrell wanted to become his own boss so badly he did it twice. The owner of Damian Farrell Design Group started the company in 1992, sold it after a couple of heart attacks and went to work for someone else in 2002 before restarting again last summer.
