What is your core philosophy for doing business? “Provide a quality product with excellent service for a reasonable price.”
Who is your role model and why? “My Dad. He always worked hard. He never brought his work home. He found time for his wife and five kids. He still finds time for his wife and kids. Now he also finds time for all 17 of his grandchildren.”
What is the funniest thing that has ever happened to you? “A number of years ago, my wife and I were invited to go boating with another couple in Florida. We were on a small boat and anchored in the bay of a small island. After shelling and exploring the island for a couple of hours, we returned to the boat for our ride to the mainland, only to find that the tide had gone out, leaving the boat on its side and over 200 yards from water. We ended up spending another six hours on the island, until a number of local boaters stopped and helped us push the boat to water.”
