About Me
My Background
Welcome to my world. I'm not your run-of-the-mill CEO; I'm an accomplished executive with a knack for transforming medium-sized companies into true success stories. I'm a pragmatic and decisive leader who understands the importance of nurturing talent in today's ever-demanding business environment. My goal? To redefine the work experience, inspiring and motivating everyone to rally around the four pillars of excellence: customer centricity, operational excellence, personal development, and continuous improvement. Let's embark on this journey together and make waves in the business world.
My career boasts over four decades of dedication to services and software solutions. Throughout this journey, I've expertly steered five companies' overall strategic growth and direction, culminating in three successful acquisitions that collectively amounted to nearly $200 million, all while maintaining a remarkable compound annual growth rate averaging 20%. My enthusiasm lies in the realm of continuous process improvement. I'm committed to fostering an environment where employees are not just encouraged but inspired to think beyond the conventional, continuously seeking novel ways to enhance both our internal operations and the quality of our client-facing deliverables.
My Personal Life
A glimpse into my personal life: I'm happily married with four kids and the proud grandparent of five energetic grandsons. My home is in sunny Gilbert, AZ, where I'm known for my unwavering enthusiasm for sports. I have a knack for talking a little too much about my beloved Ohio State Buckeyes and the Arizona State Sun Devils – you'll get used to it. Two of my closest companions are our furry friends, Brutus and
Sparky, who you might hear barking in the background as I work from home. I'm entirely self-taught when it comes to computers, a serial entrepreneur, and a perpetual student of life. My motto is 'Go Big or Go Home,' and I take everything a notch above. Just wait until you see our extravagant family Christmas light display – trust me, you'll understand what I mean when you check out the videos below!
My Favorite Things
Now, let's talk about some of my favorite things. I have a soft spot for my cabin, where we host epic family gatherings and where I get to experience a side of Arizona that most people don't even know exists. It's my sanctuary. On a lighter note, I'm an unabashed ice cream enthusiast. I have this quirky habit of stopping to snap photos of trees with the most enchanting fall colors, and if I'm ever in Ohio, you can bet I'll be indulging in Skyline Chili daily. It's a must. Restlessness is my middle name, and I'm unceasingly passionate about improvement, whether fine-tuning the company, enhancing my home or cabin, or going all-out on holiday decorations. I thrive on keeping busy. One of my greatest joys is working with people helping them shine through dedicated mentorship and professional development. It's incredibly fulfilling to bring out the very best in others.
