My kids and family motivate me to get up. You could say I am a dedicated family man.
I love seeing a project come together from beginning to end, but I especially enjoy the opening phase. It’s satisfying to help clients meet their budgets and maximize their projects
I’d like people to remember that I am a straight-up kind of person. I tell it exactly how it is.
We have a swimming pool and live near the beach, so we all enjoy swimming alot. But I also do a lot of hiking with my wife and family.
I think it’s being honest and straight up with people. And when there is a mistake, be a solutions-oriented person rather than casting blame.
