I am a graduate of the University of Arizona. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, a Bachelor of Arts in Management, and a Master of Business Administration (MBA). I am the managing partner of a landscape contracting and maintenance company and have owned several other businesses...I am a serial entrepreneur. I believe in community service, serving my community as an elected city council member (3 terms), Board President of the YMCA, and twice President of my local Rotary club. I have discovered a passion for mentoring and teaching, as it connects me with a younger generation. My greatest tutoring success story is my daughter, who just graduated from Columbia University with honors and is headed to law school. I am also a student and am completing my doctoral dissertation in pursuit of an EdD in organizational leadership at Grand Canyon University. I also teach business, finance, and entrepreneurship courses at GCU. In what little spare time I have I play horrible golf, teach karate, and volunteer at homeless shelters.
