He continued, “Winning our award was very humbling. Humility isn’t thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less. When anyone gets this award, I feel humbled. There are two things that make my life balanced; humility and gratitude. I’m very proud of my son and our team. My secret to success is my son selling our team on the idea of entrepreneurship. An idea that means being able to take action and having the courage to commit and persevere through all of the challenges and failures while using past experiences and intelligence to make smarter decisions for the future of our business. My team all works very hard every day and it shows.”
