Honesty, Integrity, Never-Give-Up Attitude

What do you think are the best skills that you bring to your job?  The skills that I bring to the job are the ability to make tough decisions and then act on them, a never-give-up attitude, honesty, integrity, and a keen eye for detail

What is the definition of success for you, personally and professionally?  Success to me is a big picture that includes the ability to simultaneously excel at one’s chosen profession, maintain and nurture a loving home and family life, while financially supporting worthwhile charitable causes.

Outside of work/profession, do you have skills or talents that most people do not know about?  I have a green thumb in the flower garden, sing and play guitar in a musical duo with my wife, and enjoy snow skiing, scuba diving and bicycling.

What are some causes you care about?  Local charities are my passion. In addition to supporting the Idaho Youth Ranch and Chrysalis House, our business provides the cleaning services for the annual Coats for Kids project in October and sponsors a men’s clothing drive in November to benefit the Boise Rescue Mission.
