A typical day in my life includes\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nget out of bed and comb through my closet for the best work attire for the day (usually a tailored suit or cowboy boots, depending on my audience). I then go to a local coffee shop in Old Town for either a meeting with my Scottsdale 20\/30 committee to discuss our upcoming charity event, NiteFlite, or plan out my work schedule for the day. Then I head to my office, McRae Group of Companies, where meetings, calls and management duties tend to fill my day from 8-6pm. After work, my fianc\u00e9 and I walk our dog, also named Ben (I know, what are the odds) then hit the gym and head home where she cooks up a another phenomenal meal. The night typically ends with us watching Live PD or another episode of The Office, which we never get tired of.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I was born\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nin Scottsdale, AZ. One of the few AZ natives I personally know.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
My favorite thing about Arizona\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nt<\/strong>he summers\u2026only kidding. Definitely the mountains. It may be desert landscape, but I\u2019ll never get tired of the views. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nI\u2019m listening to\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nChristian radio and 90\u2019s alternative. God and Grunge as I like to call it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
My family\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nhas provided for me more than I could ever ask. They not only instilled in me a solid moral foundation, I was also afforded every opportunity available to exceed and explore myself. What they provided for me I hope to someday also provide for my family.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nDwayne \u201cThe Rock\u201d Johnson. From his work ethic, to being a family man, to his encouraging, positive attitude, he embodies everything that I strive to emulate. Basically, he\u2019s the male version of Beyonc\u00e9, so I\u2019ve been told..<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
One thing I cannot live without\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\niced coffee. Very basic, I know, but it fuels me through the day.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
When I was younger, I wanted to be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\na musician. My teen years consisted of me learning every instrument I could get my hands on. Guitar, drums, bass, harmonica (well, harmonica is a bit of a stretch). Every weekend I would be at a local-dive concert venue watching some random emo\/punk\/metal\/folk band scream and shred until I could no longer hear the sound of my own voice. Sadly my music playing days have declined. Anyway, here\u2019s Wonderwall…<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I’m inspired by\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nthe kids I meet as part of my children\u2019s charity group, Scottsdale 20\/30. Everyone I meet is dealing with some kind of challenging circumstance that I fortunately never had to go through. Their continued drive and positive outlook on life inspires me like no other. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The one person who motivates me is\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nmy fianc\u00e9. She\u2019s not only my biggest supporter, she\u2019s constantly pushing me to be my best self in all areas of my life.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
If I could change anything in the world, it would be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nfear. Fear is the root of all self-doubt and it holds us back from becoming our best, true selves. Without fear, we are all capable of achieving greatness.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
The perfect day would be\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nmy fianc\u00e9 and I kayaking on Moraine Lake in Banff, Alberta, unplugged from the world. While also sharing a bottle of wine.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
My first job was\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\na wine store clerk and delivery man. I\u2019m pretty sure I was never actually employed, seeing as the owner only paid me in bottles of wine (true story).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
My favorite escape\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nday hiking through the Rockies or Sierra Nevada mountains or really any mountain range with cool weather and gorgeous views.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
My life\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nseems like a rollercoaster at times. There are highs and there are lows, but it\u2019s always constantly moving. As long as I\u2019m moving forward, every day feels like a win.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
I’m currently working on\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nplanning the 30th<\/sup> annual NiteFlite Charity Golf Tournament and Gala, hosted by my charity organization, Scottsdale 20\/30.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nAlways\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\npray when you feel like worrying. Give thanks when you feel like complaining. Keep going when you feel like quitting. \u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Never\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nsabotage your chances of success just because you fear not achieving it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Favorite Quote\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u201cClear Eyes. Full Hearts. Can\u2019t Lose.\u201d – Coach Taylor (Friday Night Lights)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Biggest Dream\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nhas always been to own and live on my own winery. Of course, who doesn\u2019t like to drink it, but I\u2019ve always appreciated the life of wine, how it’s constantly evolving and gaining complexity. Also just the lifestyle of waking up on a farm, walking the fields, helping with production, and then serving and chatting about your own to wine anyone who visits. That seems ideal to me.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
My Pet Peeve(s)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\naimlessness. Whether it\u2019s strolling down the street or moving through life, always walk with purpose.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Meet Scottsdale 20\/30 Chairman for the 30th Annual NiteFlite Gala and Vice President of Operations at McRae Group of Companies.\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":8736,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[1948,1951,1950,1949,549],"class_list":{"0":"post-8734","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leaders","8":"tag-30th-annual-niteflite-gala","9":"tag-ben-mcrae","10":"tag-mcrae-group-of-companies","11":"tag-niteflite-gala","12":"tag-scottsdale-20-30-club","13":"cs-entry","14":"cs-video-wrap"},"yoast_head":"\n
