A typical day in my life
includes… being a visionary for our company. Phone calls with customers, meetings with staff and students in our camps and planning for future growth.
My favorite thing about living/working in the Deer Valley area is… that we have a lot of open space. There are a lot of great places to hike and be outdoors.
My favorite movie I could never get tired of
watching and why…Happy Gilmore. It’s just funny from start to finish and a good sense of humor is good for a healthy life!
My family… is my life. I would do anything to provide for their comfort, growth and safety.
The business lesson I learned the hard way is… managing my marketing dollars and strategy. Many of the most effective ways to market your business are very low-cost opportunities.
One thing I cannot live without… is peanut butter. On crackers, in pretzels, ice cream, I could go on and on. It’s my weakness.

The one person who motivates me is… my wife. Nobody works as tirelessly as her and she definitely motivates me to strive forward and do my best.
The last thing that made me laugh out loud was… a meme I saw on Facebook. It’s pretty amazing how a few words over a picture can make me lol.
The perfect day would be… sitting on the beach, playing with my kids and enjoying some Baja style fish tacos.
My first job was… a paper route when I was 9 years old. I did that job every day, seven days a week for four years.
My life… has been a blessing. I am achieving the goals and expectations I have set for myself.
