Working as a team player is very essential in every aspect of life.

family and giving back to the people who helped along the way.

Reviews:
"You are
among the most dynamic and charismatic speakers I have ever had the
pleasure of hearing and it is obvious that your love of life carries
over into everything you do. Your address will be one I will remember
10 years from now. You injected a heavy dose of positive attitude into
all of us, and we are all the better for it. Your speech reminded me of
the story of Bill Porter, whose life story was recently made into the
movie 'Door to Door'. Infectious optimism were products his customers
needed."
