I refused to adopt civilian way of life and slowly influenced my civilian surroundings to do things the military way. My civilian career as an entrepreneur and founder of a defense contracting company has been an extension of my military service.

For sure, there were days while building my business from the ground up that challenged me more than others, and maybe I just wanted to stay home and not face anyone, but I've always thought about the people on my team and their families, and the choice was easy: man up.

Where I come from, real men stand up and face their opponents with honor and integrity.
