What individuals have influenced you most and how?
Christ first and foremost. He has shown me how to respond during trials and tribulations. He has also softened my heart over the years. My wife Laura has been my best friend and inspiration. Jim Burgess of Fellowship Bible Church in Dalton, GA was my first mentor. Scott Ginsberg, currently the CEO of Digital Communications was a great early influence on my career. Currently, my partner Don Childress and the managers in our company, Brad James in Tampa and Kelley McGrath here in Orlando, have been a tremendous inspiration to me.
