The Best Advice I Ever Got Keep things simple . When you break down a problem , there ’ s usually a simple solution to fix it . Don ’ t overcomplicate the things that aren ’ t really that complicated .
How I Motivate My Team I keep things simple , I work to really listen to any concerns my team has and I make the effort to help them solve those challenges whenever possible .
Three Items I Can ’ t Live Without I have pretty simple needs . I ’ d need my family , they are my rock , good people to work with and a good horse .
My Next Goal I want to push Demmer to new heights . We have an incredible team here and I believe in what we do . Hopefully I can help reinvent the business , connect with new markets and new opportunities and show the value of our business to the next generation .
