FIRST JOB: Working in a Laundromat. It had "bachelor service" so I did other peoples' laundry for $1.25 an hour on evenings and weekends.

HOW CHOSE FIELD: My family was always in freight movement. I started in air freight and accidently ended up in trucking/warehousing.

PROUD OF: Our team. They truly want to help our customers.

DEFINING CAREER MOMENT: Taking the leap to build my own building. The rentals always had shortfalls, especially lack of truck and trailer parking.

KEYS TO SUCCESS: Being willing to suffer and sacrifice. Period.

MOTIVATOR: Being told very often by customers that we are the best at our business that they have ever experienced.

I WISH I HAD KNOWN YEARS AGO: Everything about running a trucking company; I learned it all the hard way.

LIFE LESSON: Don't be so afraid of failure; most business owners are in the same boat.

LEADERSHIP TIP: Let employees know you are paying attention and that you care about what they do.

ADVICE TO PASS ON: Stay in school.

BEST ADVICE RECEIVED: "Go in through the front door."

FOR A LAUGH: I sit with the team and get them laughing!
