A boy born in southwest Ohio, his nature being shy, bashful, and cowardly, was transformed into reality with a couple of unforeseen events prior to being drafted into the army during the Korean conflict. He was challenged to be the top soldier in his airborne infantry basic training, and he met the challenge and was relentless. He was challenged in combat and was relentless. He was challenged in business college since he didn't take college prep courses in high school and was relentless. He was challenged in the workforce and was relentless. His goal was to reach the pinnacle of the business world, and through hard work and relentless energy, through trials and tribulations over the years, and through complete unadulterated dedication, he finally was satisfied and reached his goal successfully. He was now ready for his final challenge-'to give back'.
