Back in 1989, as a recent graduate of WVU, I started my career in advertising. 

I was ambitious, eager, and willing to work hard to be successful. The media industry––specifically advertising and marketing––had been my calling since I was an eight-year-old boy pretending to conduct celebrity interviews with an old record player and cassette tape recorder for my friends to listen to. 

A four-minute mile is the completion of a mile run in four minutes or less. 

This incredible athletic feat was first achieved on May 6th, 1954, (of course, we marked that anniversary this month) by British Athlete Roger Bannister, at age 25. His official time was 3:59.4. at Oxford University's Iffley Road Track in England.

Is it at all possible to be thankful amid the crisis and adversity we’ve all faced in 2020? Human nature screams, “No!” However, God gently whispers, “Yes.”

Last week, I was honored to deliver the keynote talk at the Associated Businesses of Bridgeport, West Virginia (ABB) fall meeting. It was great to be together in person for a networking and education forum – all while following social distancing and mask protocols. It was an excellent opportunity to present my thoughts on “What do we do now; how do we get back to business?”

On the morning of October 5, 2011, I finally took the most significant career step in my life. At 46 years of age, I started my own company.
