I love to coach people to become the best version of themselves. I am passionate about giving away to music and families in need.  I love to collect vintage hot rods and classic cars.

 

Who inspired you when you were growing up, and why?

My mom and dad- my dad was super interested in other human beings and a very consistent hard worker.  My mom was way too smart for her own good.  She is so witty and challenges me to be smarter.
