About

Life is an accumulation of choices that form character.

The weightier our character, the weightier the mark we will leave on the world. Hold together a marriage for decades, raise some kids who actually like you, add value to people in business, live through crises with integrity, take punches and get back up. The influence you can have through your choices is significant.

Here are some choices I've made that define my character.

Married to my wife for over 30 years
Father to three kids and grandfather to one
