My early work career was spent as a slug. This does NOT mean I was lazy. I
worked hard but I wasn’t contributing as much as I could; as much as I had to
give. It dragged me down and it was depressing.
Why did I feel that way? Because I really didn’t fit in. The work didn’t
align with my needs, desires, and talents. And it took me longer than I care to
admit to figure that out.
Time and time again I had a feeling in my gut I was destined for greatness. I
just needed the opportunity. I knew deep inside I had a lot to contribute but I
just hadn’t found “how” to do it.
Then about eight years ago I met a man who became a mentor and also gave me
the opportunity I was seeking. But first he insisted that I spend a couple years
in front-line sales.
After that “in the trenches” learning experience I went to work for my mentor
in the shipping department of his business development company. Steadily
I worked up through customer service and a few other departments. My last two
years were as the vice president of operations.
While there I also studied the products we were selling for
my own benefit and personal growth.
That marvelous experience gave me the grassroots, savvy, and confidence to go out on my own. It
gave me the confidence to create Motivation-In-A-Minute.
Now I know my career is perfectly aligned with my desires, needs, and natural
talents.
Today, and all along my way to this point, I feel a “release” whenever I help
someone. Even as a kid I was jumping in to help the underdog. I thrive on
helping you make that first step – whatever it is – that gets you closer to
living your dreams.
Whenever I see someone conform to “average” just because they don’t think
they can do it . . . I’m profoundly saddened. I’m not exaggerating! I want to
help you find the courage and the belief to DO IT. To ignore the naysayers.
Family, interests, and so on:
I’m the “young” guy of the team
because I’m only in my mid-thirties. Erika and I are very
proud of our 3 precious children, all under the age of four.
My favorite activity with the kids is loading them up and going to the park
which they can't get enough of. Their smiles and laughter makes me realize how
much I want to be a part of everything they do.
In my other leisure time you might find me coaching my son's baseball team,
fishing or on a vacation with my family. One of my all time favorite things to
do is entertain a group of close friends and family at my home with a killer
meal. My outdoor kitchen is where you’ll most likely find me. Especially if the
“Boys” come over for some BBQ and a little Dallas Cowboys football on
Sundays.
