Being the center of conversation was easy for him. He was never short of ideas, nor was he
short of energy, it was boundless. He was a lifelong entrepreneur that engaged in a number of
businesses both larger and small, once a business was started, he was eager to move to the
next. He was a constant learner interested in new technology or methods and how to apply it.

his life, he spoke often of starting new businesses and ventures.
