"As an adolescent, I had the good fortune of living in five major metropolitan cities in the first 11 years of my life. I am convinced that experience is a cornerstone to my growth as an individual. Thankfully, it provided me with the framework to be able to grow trusting relationships fairly quickly in life. From there, I was fortunate to be selected as baseball and football team captain in high school, and numerous leadership positions in college. All of these opportunities have made me a better communicator and builder of relationships, which is the key to success in our business."
