Career dream as a child
“I was a scrapper from the beginning. I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit, and I guess I still do.”

“I am inspired by a simple statement: Do the right thing and do it every time. It sounds simple, and sometimes it is. But doing what’s right is usually different from doing what’s easy.”
