ON BUSINESS 
Who are your biggest influencers and mentors personally & professionally and explain why? Andy Pforzheimer, Sasa Mahr-Batuz, Scott Lawton and Glen Jackson. With Andy, Sasa and Scott, it is about looking at all the details in everything you do and knowing why you are doing it. They also reinforced the “whatever it takes” philosophy which I live by when it comes to taking care of others.  With Glen, it is all about being a gentleman in business, supporting your community and taking care of those that work for you like family.


What exciting project are you working on? Always working on ways to grow The Atlanta Guy’s Dinner Group here as well as trying to start chapters in other cities across the US and possibly abroad. Just think about the amount of people that we can help by having such a large network.

Books you've enjoyed and what's the takeaway from that book? “The One Thing” by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. I am a Gemini and always want to take on and do everything at once. The book teaches you to think big, but to focus on one important thing at a time. I really enjoyed “Preeminence” by Glen Jackson. While it reads as a business book, its teachings can be applied to life as well, as he explains the importance of trust, and the value of building strong and authentic relationships, both of which I try to apply in both my personal and professional life.

What's been your most successful approach in building business relationships? Being my most genuine self.  I love meeting new people and always try to walk away knowing as much as I possibly can about you and how I can best serve you. A lot of my business relationships have turned into personal friendships. It’s simply caring about who is in front of you.

There are four more months left this year, what are the pressing goals that you'd like to accomplish before year end? To get the word out to as many people as possible about the Atlanta Guy’s Dinner Group, which will help to not only increase our membership, but will also bring in that much more aid to those that we want to support and to those that need it most.

Apple or Samsung explain why? Apple. It’s all I know. Lol. I have this debate with my colleagues and friends, constantly.
