In Their Own Words
What are your professional drivers?
I very much enjoy the culture and relationships with the entrepreneurial Member/owners of Network. Network is a “people business” and I have always enjoyed and achieved great satisfaction in both creating and delivering value to the Member Distributors. The consistent, positive evolution of the organization has driven me to continue to do my best in contributing to the success and growth of Network.
Share a professional accomplishment of which you are particularly proud.
I have had the privilege of being the conduit to bring many of Network’s Members into the Network organization and to watch and assist new generations become the leaders of those companies. Network has grown exponentially during my career and I’m proud to have played my part in that success story.
Who are you outside of work?
It’s all about family. My wife and I have been married since college. We’ve raised two beautiful daughters who have provided us six amazing grandkids. And now – a great Granddaughter. We enjoy spending time with one another and gather for lots of trips, lots of beach time. My “giving back” activities are mainly focused on environmental caring activities through Citizens for Conservation, World Wildlife Fund, and Rails to Trails.
