Did you know?

“I like to run with a local track club. Running is my stress reliever.”

“I am a firm believer of always remembering your roots.”

“Find a way to stand out from the rest and market your differences.”

Words of wisdom

“Think of nontraditional ways to attract and incentivize employees.”

“I think being younger allows me to see business and marketing practices on the horizon and quickly adapt to them before my competitors.”

“I periodically check online software directories like GetApp or Capterra to see what’s new. I have been able to discover and start using great software when they were at their infancy.”

“I try to mentor and teach others some of the skills and mistakes I have learned along the way.”
