"I have learned a great deal about managing people, money, profit & loss statements and balance sheets in my 41 year career and counting. I enjoy seeing people succeed in our companies and in some cases they leave to start their own company. I am married with 4 adult children Jamie, Paul (married to Melissa with baby Lillie), Jess & Grant (married to Sara); I am very proud of all of them. I have a great marriage to Lori of 31 years and counting!"
