Words to live by: “People don’t always remember what you say or what you do, but they never forget how you make them feel.”
What is your core philosophy for doing business? “Our core philosophy is to help business owners achieve their goals through technology. We believe that it is important to make a difference in the lives of others. Our vision is to grow through integrity, honesty and professionalism.”
Who is your role model and why? “My dad, he embodied a “can do” attitude and, in his own quiet way, always encouraged us to reach higher.”What was the funniest thing that has ever happened to you? “On a ski trip to Vail, Colo., I attempted to “show-boat” for an attractive ski instructor as she led a group of kids down the mountain. As I passed I caught an edge and experienced what is commonly referred to as “a yard sale.” My skis, poles, goggles, hat and possibly a glove ended up scattered everywhere. The instructor and her line of little kids in tow casually and very controlled skied past as I slid, face first, to a stop. Needless to say I probably made an impression just not the one I originally had in mind.”
