PERSONALITY PROFILE
First "real" job: I worked in a lumberyard when I was 16, driving a truck.
Management style: I believe that participation is key to work to empower employees and encourage the team concept among co-workers. Maintain ethics and values and communicate that to employees.
Strategy for success: To have a vision and strategic plan for implementing that vision. Empower the people in order to ensure excellence. Measure the results by the satisfaction of our clients and be flexible.
A memorable failure: The day I learned that "mud" wasn't really dirt and water but cement. I was helping a relative build a home when he asked me to make mud. I diligently combined dirt and water in a large wheelbarrow.
Heroes: My parents, my wife, sons and daughters. My family has always been my measuring stick and served as excellent role models.
Leisure time and hobbies: Reading, being involved with all sports, coaching basketball and baseball and serving others.
Favorite book and movie: "Les Miserables" and "Somewhere in Time."
