Do you consider yourself successful: I have a beautiful wife, a beautiful home, a great family, my health and a couple nice cars. I may not be a millionare, but I am more than happy with what I?ve accomplished over the last few years. However, there is always room for improvement.
Famous GFY moment: None that I can recall. I generally fly under the radar.
How do you think most people on GFY see you: As a knowledgeable person who avoids senseless confrontation while trying to conduct business.
