One word to describe your work environment: Determined
Rules to live by in business: Over-communicate. Listen (really listen). We were given two ears and one mouth for a reason. Be honest. Be early. Have passion for what you. Treat others as you’d like to be treated. Think before you react.
If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead, but not related to you) who would it be and where would you go? Man, I’d like to break bread with Jerry Rice or Walter Payton. It would have to be at Peter Luger’s.
What is your DREAM job? (something other than your current job):Stay at home dad or professional golfer. In both, you need to be consistent yet adaptable.
