Q: What’s the most adventurous thing you’ve ever done? A: The most adventurous thing that I have done was to leave my family and friends at a young age, join the US Military and start over, and then again with a stop at CMU to be educated in entrepreneurship. Without these adventures, it's unclear of where I would be right now.
Q: What inspires or motivates you to keep giving back to the community? A: What inspires me is the greater understanding that community growth very much dictates the business environment that the company depends on. What motivates me is that Saginaw and the Bay area is the community environment that my family is part of. Where I grew up was not safe, and that environment may have helped shape me, however that is not a desirable part of my life. My children do not live in that environment and I desire to be part of the growth that others consider as change.
