A typical day in my life includes\u2026 <\/strong>finding balance between running a company and spending time with my family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was born\u2026 <\/strong>on Labor Day in 1976.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite thing about Arizona\u2026 <\/strong>I have been here 34 years and continue to find new places that amaze me.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m listening to\u2026 <\/strong>\u201cIt Takes What It Takes\u201d audio book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family\u2026 <\/strong>all live within 30 minutes of me and are exceptional people.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be\u2026 <\/strong>my grandfather who passed 15 years ago.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One thing I cannot live without\u2026 <\/strong>quality time with my family.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was younger, I wanted to be\u2026 <\/strong>an architect.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m inspired by\u2026 <\/strong>helping people stay in their homes safely and comfortably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one person who motivates me is\u2026 <\/strong>my wife. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I could change anything in the world, it would be\u2026 <\/strong>the amount of conflict and war. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The perfect day would be\u2026 <\/strong>having coffee with my wife while cuddling our dogs, run a few appointments for customers in need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first job was\u2026 <\/strong>cleaning my dad\u2019s offices when I was 13 years old.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My favorite escape\u2026 <\/strong>at a cabin in the pine trees with my wife and dogs.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My life\u2026 <\/strong>is constantly evolving and gets better every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m currently working on\u2026 <\/strong>educating disabled veterans about benefits available to them through the VA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Always\u2026 <\/strong>grow <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Never\u2026 <\/strong>get complacent <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favorite Quote\u2026 <\/strong>\u201cDon\u2019t let yesterday take up too much of today\u201d \u2013 Will Rogers <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biggest Dream\u2026 <\/strong>to own 10 acres in the pine trees with an off-grid cabin next to a flowing river.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Pet Peeve(s)\u2026 <\/strong>Poor grammar <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
