City you live in: Phoenix
A typical day in my life includes…
walking at warp speed, haha. Every day I wake up and take on the new challenges that will arise that day, mix in a bunch of conference calls and charity work while you’re at it. The best part about my life is that every day is different and if you stay focused, driven and keep a great attitude, good things will happen. Karma does exist so always be nice if possible.
I was born…
into the best family, period. I’m a very lucky man!
My favorite thing about Arizona…
this is going to sound so typical but the weather. I’m a HUGE golfer and would play every day if I could and I love the fact that we could play 300 times a year if we had the time.
I’m listening to…
Jimmy Buffett. I just went to his concert the other night and going to take my girlfriend to Mexico for her thirtieth birthday, so I’m ready to a little Margaritaville.
My family…
taught me to be who I am. The women in my family are all teachers and care more about charity and giving than themselves and the men in my family are honest and driven. It was a pretty good combination for me to grow up with. I’m the only one to blame if I screw this life up, haha!
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be…
my grandparents…man where they are great people and funny. I miss them dearly. Celebrity wise, I would pick Bill Murray – I mean, can you imagine those stories? Sign me up!
One thing I cannot live without…
I assume you mean material items? That being said, probably my phone. I can’t do what I do without it, but I really could not live without my family, girlfriend and dogs, they are what really matter!
When I was younger, I wanted to be…
a marine biologist…sounds weird but I love everything about the ocean including those weird creatures under the sea.
I’m inspired by…
fear. Fear of failing makes me succeed. I don’t like to fail. I feel like this is a self-driven thing that either you have it or you don’t. I’ve been blessed that my family, friends, mentors and business partners always drive to make each other better.
The one person who motivates me is…
my girlfriend, Chelsea. She teaches 2 and 3 year-old children at a charter school and absolutely loves it. I have so much respect for her and all teachers. I think it is amazing what they deal with on a daily basis for other families and still find time to be amazing moms, wives, girlfriends, dad’s, husbands and boyfriends…those people are my heroes.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be…
tell everyone to slow the hell down. Seriously what happened to be unplugged and just having a drink by the pool telling stories and laughing? I am the pot calling the kettle black here!
The perfect day would be…
make breakfast for the dogs and Chelsea, play 18 holes with friends, have some cocktails for happy hour, dinner with family and a movie on the couch…location in the world doesn’t matter…simple but amazing…love what you have and you have everything you need.
My first job was…
a cashier at Best Buy on Indian Bend in Scottsdale back in the day. I bought some sweet speakers with those checks. My parents hated the noise that came from that car, haha!
My favorite escape…
Mexico. Rocky Point is a short drive where people are happy, ready to relax and have a good time on the beach…plus you can only work or be contacted when you’re around Wi-Fi. I love that part.
My life…
is amazing. I’m truly blessed…daily attempt at controlled stress sprinkled with a lot of love and laughter is a great recipe for success.
I’m currently working on…
so many projects; bluemedia keeps me busy on a daily basis as we handle the Super Bowl, PGA tournaments, Bowl games and much more but I’m currently working on a new brand for Arcadia Tavern (yes we are going to remodel) , growing Platinum Valet to 20 locations and opening a new overnight care stay company that will hopefully launch in late 2019…more to come on that new venture.
Always…
treat others as you want to be treated, give more than you receive, respect your elders, laugh everyday, cry if you want to, be honest to yourself and your loved ones…life is good if you want it want to be.
Never…
forget who you are or where you came from. My mom still tells me she will always be bigger than me, haha…love you mom!
Favorite Quote…
“Life is what you put into it, so why not mix it with a little Titos and cheers the ones you love” – Scott Hibler (I just made that up…seems like a good one though).
Biggest Dream…
kids, beach house, working with my toes in the water playing stupid funny games with my family and laughing as much as I can everyday…who could say no to that dream?
My Pet Peeve(s)…
being late and leaving the cabinets open. Seriously world, close the freaking cabinets, it takes less strength then opening them.
