I found myself at a very young age creating ways to earn an income. I remember posting a "menu" of massage services when I was 7 or 8, probably so I could buy candy. I mowed a few lawns, sold candy at school, earned an allowance and did a couple of baseball card shows with my long-time friend, Mark, who I eventually co-founded a company with. I was never afraid of a little hard work, and I always saw myself working my way up "the corporate ladder." It wasn't until Mark suggested we start our own business that I would see the chance to fast-track my climb up the ladder by starting at the top. Since 1999, I have continued to learn invaluable lessons that I can use in both business and in life.
