“Being a leader is neither a title nor a birthright…it is a responsibility.”Growing up watching Charlie Brown specials, I always admired Lucy’s 5 cent “help desk”. As a kid, I always thought it would be great to have my own booth on the sidewalk to help people.Fast forward to now, and having been fortunate enough to make a livelihood over the course of my 20 year pro career of helping people and companies solve problems, I’ve grown into a life-tested veteran of entrepreneurship, small business operations, and sales management.This path has granted me the opportunity to travel the country and personally sell tens of millions of dollars of products, services, and advice that have answered needs and solved problems.Being a company founder also means that I’ve donned many a hat, including the "Marketing Strategy Guru", the "Accounting Wizard", and "Sales Rainmaker" (as well as the Receptionist, the Janitor, and the Coffee Maker).I’ve knocked on doors, closed sales, and hired, built, taught, and mentored sales teams who I’m very proud of, but to tell you the truth, at the end of the day the title that means the most to me is “Dad”.Some other things about me:> I’m Time Magazine’s 2006 Person of the Year...it’s both an honor and a privilege.> I’m a big believer in the Servant Leadership principles, it’s truly the only way everyone wins.> I’m into fantasy sports, Monty Python's Flying Circus, and self-deprecating humor.> I’m the one usually running towards the fire and the sound of chaos.> I’m a Monday-morning meteorologist.> I charge more than 5 cents.
