WHAT I'M ABOUT - I'm a serial entrepreneur - born with both an adventurous and entrepreneurial spirit; I've spent my life believing there's always a better (and more fun) way to do just about everything. Eventually, that innate curiosity and drive for a better mousetrap led me to invent the world's first and only flexible window screen - which landed me on Shark Tank - which resulted in a deal with Lori Greiner (the Queen of QVC) - which catapulted my business in some pretty unbelievable ways. Although I'm old enough to be a grandfather, I'm still young enough to think I'm not that old, and I act accordingly most of the time. Seeking outdoor adventures has led me to many exciting and sometimes dangerous places where I take some calculated risks - some that work, some that don't. In this way, my personal life parallels my professional life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. As the great Wayne Gretzky once said (or was it Michael Scott?) - "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." I don't mind missing once in a while, but you'll never find me on the sidelines without the ball. WHAT I DO - Now I spend my days leading, speaking, training, blogging, podcasting, and, of course, still dreaming of better mousetraps. I've gained a large following as a leading expert in the window and door industry, but my experience as an inventor, a leader, and an entrepreneur reaches far beyond any one industry. Using all that I've learned to help others reach their full potential is a big part of what I aspire to, and I'm always happy to consider being a keynote or guest speaker at your trade show or leadership event. MY WHY - I'm a family man - married to my high school sweetheart, Alisha, for over 25 years - with four kids, (currently) 6 grandkids, and two very pampered and entitled Cane Corsos. We all still like each other enough to get together for Sunday dinners, and I consider our healthy family life to be my most important and highest achievement.
