I was born in Washington, but my father was an Officer in the Air Force and we moved around the U.S. until we came back to Seattle when I was 12. This experience helped me to become a brave, social young man and it became easy for me to adjust and meet new people.

Growing up with the reality that freedom has never been free, it is only earned through a hard working country that is willing to defend what is right and serve each other. This helped me to see and appreciate opportunity in my life. Because of doing little things to earn money since the age of 9, I have enjoyed having those things I wanted and eventually needed.

I spent a few years working at Microsoft and then I decided to leave on a 2 year sabbatical to serve as a missionary in my church. I came back and met a beautiful woman who helped inspire me to reach new heights and levels of success in life. We are now married and have two wonderful children.

Success is finding a way to go beyond your dreams and then turn them into reality. Dreaming is the beginning any successful endeavor, but it is nothing more then a dream if you don’t take any action. It is difficult to reach any level of success without gratitude for the things that already helped shape your life.
