Key Influences
There have been many who have been of great value in shaping my career. I am thankful for David Williams who has held me accountable as my manager. David has challenged me to not only think bigger but to never stop improving. Lately it's been books by authors like Michael Pollen and gutsy people like Sally Fallon that have been challenging me on the more accute level of personal health and wellness.
Personally Speaking
By far the most influential person in my life has been my wife Elise. It is her diligence and determination that has challenged me to really accomplish big things through the small things that I do everyday. Living in a cozy apartment in Lansing, MI. Elise and I cook up a storm! You'll see us every Saturday at Foods for Living. Most of the time when I'm not cooking or designing a promotional campaign you'll likely see me reading a good book about organic farming.
