Hometown: Cedar Rapids, Iowa (Moved to Scottsdale January 1989)
First job: When I was about 6 years old, I sold day-old Penny Saver newspapers door-to-door in the neighborhood. Nobody needed a day-old Penny Saver (they were always free in the store anyway), but people bought them because they saw I was determined and it was the only way to get me to stop knocking on their door.
Favorite AZ restaurant: So many choices, depends on the day and the occasion but a few of my go to places: Local Bistro, Sumo Maya, Breakfast Kitchen Bar and AZ 88. Each have great food, local vibe and diverse menus. I lean toward supporting locally-owned restaurants.
Person who has impacted your life the most: My parents have impacted my life the most; they instilled values and hard work in me at a young age.
Your biggest accomplishment in your eyes: Personally- I am blessed to be the father of 2 amazing teenage daughters (Lauren – 18, Olivia – 15). They make me proud everyday. Professionally- Creating a world-class real estate experience for my clients while delivering the best financial outcome possible to them.
The biggest obstacle you have overcome: I’ve been blessed with great health, family, friends and opportunities… I don’t see obstacles, I see opportunities.
Someone who inspires you: I am inspired by all entrepreneurs who work hard, give back to their communities while surrounding themselves with family and friends.
Favorite quote: “Get Busy Living… or Get Busy Dying”
