Faces in business:

Title: Owner operator

Company: Bradenton/Sarasota/Lakewood Ranch Urgent Care P.A., 4647 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton

What was the best business advice you ever received?

Work hard and good things will happen.

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

Professional scuba diver/photographer, like Jacques Cousteau. Diving is a beautiful experience.

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

Opening the first Urgent Care Clinic. I took over a clinic from a large corporation and they could not make it work. I quit my job and poured all my money and job knowledge into this one clinic and it definitely worked out.

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

New Zealand and then Australia, mainly for its diving opportunities and the nature and different wildlife in both countries.
