How I Motivate My Team
Communicate directly with them —
face-to-face whenever possible.
Engagement is essential.
My Next Goal
Continue the success and
growth of Star Cutter for the
benefit of its employees, the
family and our customers.
If I Weren’t Doing This
I have no idea. It’s been my
life and the life of my family.
If I Could Have a
Superpower
I’d love to be able
to see the future.
The Best Advice I Ever Got
Recognize your employees
as the most important asset.
Three Items I Can’t
Live Without
Family, faith and
friendship.
