Who would you say has been your greatest influence / mentor, if any?
My greatest influence has been my grandmother. She has instilled in me the importance of values and class.
I learned from a very young age to value integrity and not material things. That class had nothing to do with
where you were from or what you owned. That humility and respect play important roles in our existence. I go
about my life with these valuable lessons as my guide everyday. :-)
