WORK

My first job as a young boy was exploring the golf course ponds and mud spots for golf balls that golfers had shanked. I would acquire lost balls and wash them, then sell the golf balls back to the golfers on a different hole. The golfers would buy the balls because they appreciated my hustle and it saved them money. Capitalism and serving at its finest. Find a need and fill it and have fun…

My first job as an adult was walking around a shipyard sweeping up the yard with a bucket, broom, and shovel. On good days I would get to re-stack wood and metal materials. Talk about dignity, you learn very fast about real work and life. This was a great experience that I’m grateful for…

I have experienced personal and professional growth and many life lessons since my early start as a young entrepreneur on the golf course and a laborer at the shipyard. Below are some of my passions and businesses that have developed out of a desire to serve, fill a need and provide impact.
