and my son calls me a recovering Marine.
MOTIVATES ME IS… Lou Holtz and Gary Keller.
MY FAMILY… Means everything to me, especially the little ones. The older I get the more I realize how important they are.
THE LAST THING THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD WAS… My little granddaughter had a little doll and I asked her what the dolly’s name was. She answered “Merida,” so I thought I’d tease her. I asked her, “Mathusola?” and she said “No Grandpa…. Merida!” I said to her again, “Magnolia?” and she leans in, thinking I’m hard of hearing and says, “No Grandpa, Merida!!” I tried it again and said, “Miranda”? She looks at me and says, “Grandpa you’re d*c(k)less!” In total shock, I said, “Excuse me?!” and she tells me again, “You’re d*c(k) less Grandpa!” I look over to my wife who’s in tears and she says,”I think she means ridiculous.”
THE BUSINESS LESSON I LEARNED THE HARD WAY IS… You need to be out meeting people and helping them. ONE THING I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT… DQ Ice Cream WHEN I WAS YOUNGER, I WANTED TO BE… A high school coach. THE SONG I WOULD SING AT KARAOKE NIGHT IS... Notre Dame Victory March, or, I’m Gonna Love You Forever and Ever by Randy Travis. THE ONE PERSON WHO

THE BEST GIFT I’VE EVER RECEIVED WAS... My life & family. I’ve been blessed with so many things and opportunities that would never have happened if not for them. THE ACTOR I WOULD WANT TO PLAY ME IN A MOVIE OF MY LIFE IS... Donnie Wahlberg from Blue Bloods. He’s quick witted, ‘salty’ and loves life. MY DREAM VACATION WOULD BE TO… Travel to WWII places with my family and pay my respects to those that have made my adventure possible. Places like Normandy, Herkin Forest and others where great battles took place. MY WORDS OF WISDOM TO ASPIRING BUSINESS OWNERS... No matter how tough or dismal things look, NEVER give up. Keep working hard and chasing your dreams and goals! Things are earned, not given!
