  1. Something you admire about entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs are positive people and bring energy to their lives and the lives of those who surround them.  They believe, at all times, that they can make things work.
  2. What was your first job? My first job was cutting my neighbor’s grass with a hand push mower at eight years old. When I turned ten, I expanded into selling snow cones delivered personally by bike, along with a newspaper route.
  3. Road trip destination on your bucket list? Crossing the U.S. through the Southwest and then back across southern Canada on the Trans-Canada highway
  4. Offline, you'll find me… Officiating high school basketball, water skiing, snow skiing, hiking, SCUBA diving and snorkeling, and wishing there was time for Golf.
