1937 … Who ‘s At Your Table
These four digits have meant a lot to me at different times over my life, my career, and made me ponder on the year they represent as well. It was in this year, 1937, that The Hoover Dam welcomed its first tours of the newly created structure—and delivered the first bit of hydro-produced power to […]
Read MoreAnna Marie Bustos – Work Ethic … Handed Down
Quiet, humble, almost invisible. That is what the housekeeper was and demonstrated as she came into our room. Months before that day, Connie and I decided we would travel to West Virginia and experience the history of The Greenbriar. If you don’t know the name, this hotel has quite a history—both as a private entity […]
Read MoreA Different Kind of Trust …
Trust. A word that tends to get tossed around a good bit, it gets taken advantage of and totally obliterated in some instances. Door locks. Passwords. Iris scanning. Bio-Metrics in general. All to “Verify, but Trust.” My longtime friend and author, Jeffrey Gitomer wrote an excellent book on the subject – Little Teal Book of […]

One day last week I was on the phone and talking with a friend and the subject of “The AirTight Creed” arose. The Creed is a document: A collection of values and principles that my company, AirTight Mechanical, together with my wife, formed back in 1999, worked hard to operate around and to help guide […]
Read MoreTruly, A Gut Feeling
Abdominal Pain – Those two words were enough to send me to the hospital. Being 59 years old at the time, I had been around long enough to experience some pain—enough pain really to understand the difference between playing injured versus playing hurt. This, in my calculation, was of the injury variety. I was admitted on […]
Read MoreA Rearview Mirror versus The Windshield
A ratio of 96:1 seems pretty lopsided in general—meaning the windshield is ninety-six times larger than a rearview mirror in most automotive applications, yet we spend a considerable amount of time gazing backwards in our lives. For transparency sake, I am sitting nineteen floors above the city in Asheville, NC in my friends condominium, I […]
Read MoreIt Has Been A While …
The world has evolved, podcasts have come, podcast has been recorded, and they are a blast, but I was ready to write again. It’s been a while.

When did things start? That is a question that I have pondered more than once over the last few years. What started when I was a little kid watching his father hone his craft has, over the last fifty-eight or so years, turned into a life-long passion.

What an interesting and thought provoking topic. Over the last month or so I have been really digging into, learning about and analyzing some of the cultures that I am, have been and want to continue to be a part of. Reading from Ben Horowitz’s latest book entitled, What You Do Is Who You Are […]

5:30 PM: It is crazy. Trying to “wrap-it-up” with two or three calls on the way home, small and large celebrations from the day and (re)connections finally made after a handful of texts and voicemails. What to do for dinner? What city are you in? Are the girls fed? What time will you be home? […]
