What inspires you most about entrepreneurship?
  • My father was a sign maker, and after many years he ventured out and became the sole proprietor of his own graphic design company for 40+ years. Witnessing his drive and dedication to his craft, while providing for our family of six, was truly inspirational. I shop at small businesses as often as possible, knowing every sale contributes to yet another family. Having the opportunity to assist entrepreneurs to follow their dreams and be a valued member of our community is both exciting and rewarding.
