He has gone about his life taking risks in business that border on the dare-devil, not unlike taking a leap into space on a hang glider, all the while knowing the skill and strength you bring to the flight is all you have to arrive safely. He learned in the school of hard knocks, worked with tyrants and mentors who taught him equally well. His heart always pursued the sale, and his personality fit that endless quest perfectly. His friends and family benefit from his love and generosity, although his personal life has had its share of challenges and heartache. He explains his view of life through a prism of one well lived.
