As a father of two boys, 12 and 6, I naturally worry about their future.  I think all parents do, so I am definitely not alone.  I worry about things like health, happiness and them having a good marriage. But as a pragmatic person, I tend to think more about things I can have an […]

As a whole, I am pretty good with numbers.  As a salesperson, I was always strong at calculating things like margin and selling discount levels.  As an owner of a growing business, there are always numbers to look at…..growth rates, interest rates and payroll are just a few of them.  However, like most people, I […]

Ok, not sure if you are like me, but I have wondered why more college kids don’t use the term “cloud” as a drinking game….much the same as they did in 2008 with Sarah Palin and the term “Maverick”….thanks to SNL for that! It seems that everyone wants to be part of the cloud.  As […]

Ask any basketball fan who the greatest “big man” of all time is and you may get a few different answers.  Some may opt for the most athletic (like Wilt Chamberlin)….some will choose the great defenders (like Bill Russell)….some will go for the great scorers (like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) and some will go for the player […]
