INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
If you want to do something, do it well. If you are going to do it badly, you need to do it over anyway!
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
When my wife got cancer, it redefined my priorities. It was a pretty dark time in my life and I am best at dusting myself off and getting back up. I don’t tend to dwell on the bad times, but I compartmentalize it and tuck it away so it doesn’t affect me going forward.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
I’ve loved all the cars I’ve owned!
BEST AUTOMOTIVE ADVICE
Buy the best you can afford.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCE
Your conscience is your best resource and guide.
RECOMMENDED BOOK
Read something that gives you perspective – something with a differing point of view.
