If you were a superhero, your superpower would be: Fearlessness – is that a superpower? As a “Citizen of Heaven”, I fear nothing. That comfort gives me the ability to do the things I’ve done in my life. I’ve been scuba diving all over the world and even went cage diving with great white sharks on my 13th anniversary with my amazing wife. I love adventure – whether it’s hunting big game, swimming with big fish, bungee jumping, skydiving, white water rafting, or riding rollercoasters with my identical twin daughters. I aim to live life to the fullest and enjoy every day that I have on this big rock we call Earth.
Most important lesson you’ve learned in your professional career: “No” only means “No” today.” Being in sales for 30+ years, I have learned that persistence and consistency in my efforts to help clients pay off – not just for my business but for my customers as well. Often times, clients don’t know what they don’t know, and it’s my job to patiently learn about their business challenges and educate them on the best possible options available to them. For me, it’s not about sales numbers, though. It’s about fostering a relationship with clients and being a trusted advocate that will fight for their success.
Best piece of advice you’ve ever received: Work harder than everyone else and be honest and you will succeed!!
