INSPIRATIONAL QUOTE
The only thing that really stands out is the disposition to get things done.
CAREER & LIFE CHALLENGES
I reached a time in my career as a home builder when I realized my time here is limited. I started focusing on things that were more personal and emotional, and for me, I made it a matter of prayer. In 2001, I had the best year I’d ever had I home building. In 2002, it was the worst year I’d ever had in the building industry. I decided to focus on what I felt was most important in my life. I’m not by any means wealthy, but I am very fortunate to pursue what I love along with my wife.
FIRST SPECIAL VEHICLE
My first really special car was a 1955 Volkswagen. I spent more time keeping that car running than any other car I had ever owned. I had a nice car in college. It was a 1965 Chevrolet Malibu. I regret the day I sold that car.
BEST AUTOMOTIVE ADVICE
The best automotive advice I’ve received is there is a butt for every seat.
