WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE DISTINGUISHES YOU FROM OTHERS?

I am self-driven and strive to do my best at everything I pursue. I focus on the good in each individual and try to guide them to do their best at work and with family.

WHEN WAS YOUR FIRST TASTE OF SUCCESS?

I managed the school store for three years at Barton Junior High School. I earned enough money each week to buy fresh spudnuts in the teacher’s lounge each morning.

WHAT IS YOUR PROUDEST ACCOMPLISHMENT?

I take great pride in being a successful third-generation business owner in El Dorado. I have helped grow and expand our small business into a diverse organization, providing several key employees with lifelong careers. It is very rewarding. We have also renovated three buildings into executive apartments, which benefit everyone in the downtown area.

WHAT ARE YOUR FAVORITE HOBBIES?

I enjoy snow skiing and hanging out with family and friends around the grill or on the lake.
