What Guides My Decision Making: My biblical understanding and applying “Love thy neighbor” to my associates and clients

Most Important Leadership Quality: Listening. Even though you are confident you have the answer, it is important to listen well. There is always something to learn by being open and willing to engage the thoughts of others.

If I Could Have Any Other Job: Governor of Ohio. There is a real need to have leadership that has a business background and an individual who has assembled teams to solve large-scale problems across many industries and population groups. 

My Very First Job and What I Learned From It: Mowing lawns at age 10. I learned that the more lawns you mow, the more money you make. Work pays. Provide a solution and people will pay you for the solution.

Hobby/Passion: Horseback riding with my wife. We have two trail horses. Also, pickleball, fly fishing with my son and enjoying time with our 19 grandchildren.
