Weird personal factoids (because someone said I have to)

Amazing Russian bride.

Two amazing daughters - I’m a horrible but super cool papa.

I was kidnapped twice. I’m not a victim. Everyone has had a life full of events. It’s life.

I sold Mary Kay cosmetics door to door when my mom lost interest in her sample kit. I was 7. (Who’s not buying “rouge” from this cute little boy?) killed it.

I built a $25M (annual revs) company after I left the Navy and spent every dang nickel I made in real time. (Big supporter of teaching children how to deal with success — but those Porsche(s) were awesome). My kids have more passport stamps than most Americans have things in the junk drawer and I wouldn’t trade my life for any amount of money)

Ate a baby camel 🐪 in a desert with some Saudi prince once. Eww right?, but kind of a fun story. (More like roast beef than chicken)

Select Beliefs:

No one owes you anything.

Work more than the cat next to you .... or ..... they are working more than you.

If you can help someone and it costs you nothing but time, do it. Period. No caveats.

Push your people’s limits till they get pissed, quit and start another company to do it better than you. When they call you later for advice, always give that advice with pride and humility.
