What is your core philosophy for doing business? “Remember that business is all about relationship building. Treat others as you would like to be treated, work hard, and always remain professional. Also, be careful not to burn bridges, because you never know who you’ll meet again down the road.”
Who is your role model and why? “My dad is my role model. He is a successful businessman and writer, but still finds time for his family. He took us to movies and concerts, as well as many family vacations over the years. He has been a great source of advice and inspiration in my career and relationships.”
What was the funniest thing that has ever happened to you? “Life is full of little moments when you just have to laugh. I have a lot of those moments, so I’ve learned not to take myself too seriously. I’ve fallen up the stairs, put my foot in my mouth and done many other funny things. A good sense of humor definitely helps.”
