I am very grateful for the mentoring that I have had over the past 30 yrs in this industry. Through the years, I learned much through “on the job” training; however, the most essential knowledge has come through my mentors. They taught me the necessity of a strong work ethic, the importance of business relationships, and to never stop learning. My mentors have had a tremendous impact on my life. It is because of this, I feel obligated to carry on this great tradition with my students.
