A typical day in my life includesâŚ
waking up early to go to the gym, working to continually improve Stream Logistics, then going home to play with my son, Axel, and relax with my wife, Whitney.
I was bornâŚ
in Scottsdale, AZ but was raised in Kingman, AZ.
My favorite thing about ArizonaâŚ
is its diversity. You can enjoy great food and entertainment in the valley, and also enjoy outdoor activities at nearby lakes and the mountains up north.
Iâm listening toâŚ
audio books. As a proponent of self-improvement, I am continuously reading and listening to audiobooks to continue my personal education.
My familyâŚ
is extremely supportive. I am fortunate to have most of my family living in Arizona, which allows me to stay very close with all of them.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would beâŚ
Elon Musk. He is the generational equivalent to innovation titans such as John D. Rockefeller, Henry Ford, and Steve Jobs.
One thing I cannot live withoutâŚ
is my family. My wife gives me unconditional support and my son provides me with motivation to be a great role model.
When I was younger, I wanted to beâŚ
a professional basketball player. At 5â9â, that dream faded quickly.
Iâm inspired byâŚ
the success of others. I love researching and witnessing greatness, whether it is an athlete, artist, or business mogul. The exceptional impact of a single person is intriguing and inspiring to me.
The one person who motivates me isâŚ
myself. I believe the strongest form of motivation is internal. Nobody will have higher expectations for myself than me.
If I could change anything in the world, it would beâŚ
nothing. I believe that people, communities, and nations benefit from the process of experience and change.
The perfect day would beâŚ
every day!
My first job wasâŚ
working for my dad who has owned a land surveying business for 25 years. He taught me the benefits and responsibility of owning a business.
My favorite escapeâŚ
is traveling with my wife. We love exploring this country and traveling to new locations.
My lifeâŚ
is short, like every life. Itâs critically important to me to have fun and make a measurable impact through my work and how we raise our children.
Iâm currently working onâŚ
developing a freight management system which Stream Logistics will use to manage its business. It will be the most efficiently designed system in the industry. The software is designed to be uniquely simple, which will lead to the most productive operations possible.
AlwaysâŚ
make great memories. Our lives are a collection of memories.
NeverâŚ
cease learning.
Favorite QuoteâŚ
âDevotion to the truth is the hallmark of morality; there is no greater, nobler, more heroic form of devotion than the act of a man who assumes the responsibility of thinking.â – Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged
Biggest DreamâŚ
is becoming reality. Iâve always dreamed of creating a successful company, which provides unquestionable value to its clients and creates jobs in which people love performing. The impact of Stream Logistics will only grow as we continue to scale.
My Pet Peeve(s)âŚ
is when people say, âThatâs not fairâ. It is a victimâs statement and I believe it is unhealthy and unproductive to accept a role as a victim.
