Hello All! I am responding to written questions in case it seems like I am rambling. I was born in Marietta,GA. I have a Bachelors in Human Biology and Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City. In middle school I wanted to be a professional soccer player and in high school I was leaning toward Chiropractic. I worked at Microtel in Kansas City as the hotel front desk for my first job or massaging my mom’s back starting somewhere around age 9. My beautiful wife Kristen is pregnant with our first. She is due July 27th, though I think she will be slightly early. Thinking of the name Alessandra, but have to see her first. I just got done bottling 50 bottles of wine (I prefer dry reds) and brewing about 12 gallons of beer. I enjoy being around people, helping others and enjoying great food and drinks. Playing cards and games are fun, but don’t get to too often. Golf, I enjoy the most. Cooking is fun, if only I would have time to relax and enjoy it. I am trying to read more…I will let you know if I find a great book to talk about. My best and hardest business decision was moving into the Mequon Town Center out of the basement I was in before. I am so glad we have large windows now and SUNLIGHT! Another best business decision would be having a business coach the last 5 years. We all need coaches in our life. What do I like best about my job? I like how fast patients improve when they didn’t expect to. I think my competitive nature has me wanting to always get people healthier as fast as I can. Those darn Rotarians do take the longest. (I think Rotarians are always looking to take care of others that they don’t pay as much attention to their needs, so they are pretty beat up when they come see me). In business, such as in life, communication will affect things more than we think. Words of wisdom: “Eagles fly with eagles and chickens scratch with chickens” and “if you have more than 3 priorities, you have zero priorities”. I only know 1 person that said those things, but they are not the originator. Favorite rotary moment: If Brian Monroe had not invited me to Rotary, I would not have met my eagle group. Thank you to all for teaching me a wealth of knowledge on life by setting wonderful examples. |
