Bradley Stone Industries Ltd.
Education: Kent State University
What Guides My Decision Making: Integrity and honesty — always doing the right thing, even when it is hard. We always try to put the needs of our customers first.
What Motivates Me: What motivates me is constantly pushing the boundaries in my industry for design, materials and our process. Also, turning vision into reality — project by project, day by day.
Most Important Leadership Quality: Accountability — taking ownership of results, both good and bad, and expecting the same from others — with being a good listener and listening before you speak
If I Could Have Any Other Job: My original passion was being an architect. I love all areas of architecture and design. The creative process fascinates me, so having the ability to create something from nothing is amazing.
My Very First Job and What I Learned From It: My very first job was in high school at a grocery store in the butcher shop. I learned to persevere through adversity. There was nothing I liked about it, but I stuck it out until I started college.
