I was born in…
California. I am the first generation in my family to be born in America.
My favorite thing about Arizona…
the continuous sunshine and blue sky. I have lived here for 34 years and don’t plan on changing that any time soon.
I’m listening to…
80’s heavy min the morning and smooth jazz in the evening.
My family…
has rich Armenian roots. We are descendants of Bedros Tourian, a famous Armenian poet & playwright, whom I am named after. My mother was born in Egypt. My father is from Syria. I am lucky to have them living nearby in Phoenix. They recently celebrated their 45th wedding anniversary.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
Bill Clinton. Regardless of what people think of him and the infamous blue dress, he was an effective leader with measurable results.
One thing I cannot live without…
Basturma, cured beef of Anatolian origin.
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
the CEO of a global corporation with an office on the top floor of a sky rise. With offices in Gilbert, I guess I’ll have to settle for the ground floor.
I’m inspired by…
all my fellow Young President Organization (YPO) members. It’s important to be part of a group of peers to share ideas, best practices and build life long relationships. With over 21,000 Chief Executives in 125 countries generating $6 tillion in the US alone, I have never seen so many like minded driven Entrepreneurs in any organization. Each and every member I meet around the world inspires me to continue to grow as a person and organization.
The one person who motivates me is…
the man in the mirror. I believe it is up to an individual to motivate himself/herself and get up every day to make it the best he or she can.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
to eliminate hate completely! I just hate it. (smiles)
The perfect day would be…
to see the sun rise and set over the beautiful waters of the Caribbean.
My first job was…
a lot attendant at a Ford dealership. My first car was a Ford Mustang.
My favorite escape…
a quiet soft white sand beach with calm crystal clear blue waters in the French Polynesia. No technology, iPhone, iPad, or TV.
My life…
is good. I am fortunate to be surrounded by so many wonderful people.
I’m currently working on…
being a multi-brand Franchisor, I’m always working on growing our brands. A current project is our International expansion efforts for SYNERGY HomeCare. We plan to be in five new countries within the next 24 months.
Always…
give back and help others who need it.
Never…
quit.
Favorite Quote…
“Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get.” – Ray Kroc

to own a yacht and sail around the world.
My Pet Peeve(s)…
negative, pessimistic people
