The Holidays are a wonderful time – and a wonderful time for reflection.
It’s so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day of life and business while losing sight of the things in our lives we should be thankful for. Here are a few of mine…
I’m thankful for my wonderful wife that inspires me on a daily basis.
I’m thankful for my incredible stepson who is the best part of my day every day.
I’m thankful for my mom – the kindest, most selfless person I know.
I’m thankful for my dad for teaching me about the importance of work ethic and ‘good business.’
I’m thankful for Nick and my other business partners for making everything we’ve accomplished and continue to accomplish possible.
I’m thankful for our team for those very same reasons.
I’m thankful for you, my friends and colleagues, for making every day enjoyable and allowing me to play a small part in your lives.
I know it’s not business, so thank you for indulging me this opportunity to share just a bit of all I’m thankful for. I’d love to hear what you’re thankful for too. Share it below…

I am thankful for my wife, Kennon Marie, my two lovely daughters, Kristina and Stephanie, who, through the help and (I’m quite certain willingparticipation) of their husbands, Mikal and Randy, have either brought or are in in the process of bringing me brandsons, and for my parents and in-laws, who have each celebrated over 50 years of wedded bliss.
