To oversee the day to day operations and overall strategies of the business.

I was raised in the south suburbs of Chicago by two school teachers until we moved as a family to Arizona in 1994. I’d like to think I maintain the morals and values instilled in me while growing up in the midwest. I have one younger sister who I am still very close with and we are both now raising our kids together in AZ.

Graduating college top in my class.

I was a success if I made a difference that day. Whether it be a difference to the company or to a member of our team, having a positive effect is what makes me feel successful.

My Grandpa Joe Spinozzi” or as we all called him, Pep. I was an unapologetic and take-everything-apart little Italian boy, and my Grandpa was a tough war veteran. He would see my loud antics and always said to me, “Who will you be when you grow up? You’re crazy!” Even though I was an opposite to my Grandfather, he and I were the closest. He passed away when I was in 8th grade, and by the age of 19 I had started my first company. I would always say before I fell asleep, in my prayers “I wish you could see me now Grandpa - I wish you could see what I am building. I know you would be proud!” He taught me patience, perseverance, and discipline.

Travel. Live close enough to the ocean to where I can hear and see it. Watch my children grow old, get to meet their grandchildren and their children

Rise and Shine, Give God the glory!

Chief Marketing Officer. My primary job is to make the phones ring!

I was born right here in Phoenix, Arizona (they call us natives)! My entire family is from Missoula, Montana.

My proudest accomplishment is having a hand in the growth and molding of our employees. It is both rewarding and a pleasure to see my coworkers become more proficient and polished in their roles each and every day.

If my heart rate is normal, the day was a success.

Ted Williams. Both because he is a great baseball player and fisherman.

Go fly fishing in Argentina. Go on a 20 day mountain biking and fly fishing trip in New Zealand. Run for President of the United States.

Anything by Tupac or Little River Band.

Manhattan, Illinois. 8 brothers and 3 sisters - 12 in all! I opted for a smaller version with 4 sons and 1 daughter. For me that was plenty…

Locking down my wife...what a catch!

Did I make someone’s life better? I live my life by my motto…”I’m not here to make everyone happy, but to make them better”.

Jesus Christ. Arguably the most influential and controversial human that ever lived throughout history.

Chef School, Cafe tour (where I play music and perform in little venues for a few months straight while doing nothing else!), and attend the Phoenix Open (checking this one off in February!)
