Q: What book had the most impact on you?
A: So difficult to choose one. “Getting Things Done.” It taught me to really focus on the next step in the process or project that needs to be completed no matter how small. It keeps the project moving. “2 Second Lean.” Great book and great principles. I have read it three times and I am still trying to work it into the sales process. Both books are great for business and my personal life.
Q: What’s the most interesting place you’ve visited?
A: Europe. It is amazing the thousands of years of history in Europe, compared to America’s couple hundreds of years. I especially enjoyed the beautiful, historical churches in London and France and the art museums in Paris.
Q: What is your favorite holiday?
A: The 4th of July is also my Dad’s birthday, so that has always been a special day for my family.
Q: What’s your favorite sports team?
A: My favorite team is the Chicago Bears – through good and bad.
Q: When people come to you for help, what do they usually want help with?
A: With five kids, it is usually for a ride somewhere! But usually my math skills are pretty good, so I am always helping one of them with math. I am also the electronics guy, so if something is broken, I have to fix it. Usually I just replace the battery, and it works!
