What was the best business advice you ever received?

When identifying a possible successful business relationship, don't hesitate to seize it.

If you could choose another profession, what would it be?

Photographer. It's been a passion of mine since junior high school. I even have done some semi-professional photography work.

What is the biggest risk you've taken in your career?

Moving from Ohio to Florida. When arriving here I had been out of my profession for about a year but I knew there were opportunities here and within three months I found my present job at MGA.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you start?

Rome and then the rest of Italy, because of the culture and its history and my love for Italian food, then on to Greece.
