Director of Business Development Principal

with TJ

If you have a completely open schedule on a weekend, what do you most enjoy doing?: Begging my girls to spoil a good walk with me on the golf course.
What profession did you want to have when you were young?: I wanted to work in cheese of all things, I loved the whole concept.
What is your favorite movie of all-time?: Caddyshack
What song would you sing at Karaoke night?: I am certain, I have only sung one song in my karaoke career: John Mellencamp’s Authority Song. The great news is that was a one time-only occurrence.
What three items would you take on a deserted island?: Cell phone with never ending battery, commercial kitchen to cook, lifetime of fresh food ingredients.
What’s your secret talent that no one knows about?: I can shoot 65 anytime I play a round of golf, sometimes it just requires a few more holes to finish the round.
What advice would you give your younger self?: Focus on one thing at a time, you can have it all but not all at once.
What is the first job you ever held?: Shearing Christmas Trees – most Christmas trees grow in much more of a rectangle and a young fella like myself takes a huge machete and cuts them into a cone shape every July, usually in about 95-degree heat.
