“My grandfather, Don Siebert, and my parents, Mark and Renee Beeler, deeply shaped my work ethic and core values. From my grandfather and mother, I learned to find the positive in any situation and the timeless principle to always treat others with respect. My father instilled in me a mindset of extreme ownership – if you truly want something, you will find a way. There are no excuses or rescues when it comes to doing the right thing, not what’s easy. He also taught me to live below my means and stay grounded, reminding me that life is a personal journey of growth, not a competition.
“Several influential mentors further guided me to align my daily actions with a deeper purpose – to find the ‘why’ in what I do. They helped me develop a long-term vision, starting with a 10-year goal and working backwards through five-year, three-year and one-year milestones, down to quarterly checkpoints and daily habits. Their simple yet profound advice resonates with me, ‘If you don’t know where you’re going, any road will get you there.’”
