About Me

Interests:

more I cannot think of right now.
Television:
Grey's Anatomy, Lost
Books:
On the Road. Losing My Virginity (Branson's Biography) In Sam We Trust (Sam Walton's Bio) The Notebook. The Bible. Teddy Roosevelt's Bio. Ted Turner's Bio, Wild at heart. Mere Christianity. Old Man and the Sea. Celestine Profecy.

About Me:
I love life. My new years resolution was to watch more sunsets. Traveling brings me clarity and makes me feel closer to God. I wish I had more time to read. I struggle with being a workaholic, but I never see it as work. I love the rush of starting a new company....I have the most wonderful family in the world, which gives me confidence that no matter what I do, I cannot fail. In the end, my life will not be remembered by how much I acquired, but what I gave away.
Who I'd like to meet:
Richard Branson. Gandhi. My Maker. Hemingway. Jack Kerouac.
Heroes:
That is tough. I have many mentors in business, and several great friends I really admire, but most of all, I must say my parents...they really figured out this thing called life.
