PERSONALITY PROFILE
First "real" job: Worked at LDS Seminary Distribution Center (underneath BYU stadium at the time) through high school years.
Management style: Surround myself with the most skilled, reliable and talented people that can be found, then let them do their thing while I do mine.
Key to success: "When a job is once begun, never leave it 'til it's done. Be it labor great or small, do it well or not at all."
One lesson I've learned in my work: Life in business is made up of ambiguous victories and defeats - claim them all as victories.
What I like about my line of work: The opportunity to be innovative and visionary. To network with great people and accomplish the perceived impossible.
My heroes: Whitey Eggbert (my Little League coach).
Leisure time and hobbies: Doing family things, most sports, golf, fishing, even yard work.
Favorite book: Any Og Mandino book.
Favorite movie: "Anne of Green Gables."
