Thinking about my life in all facets----personal , family, and business I recently realized I have lived for as long as I can remember under one simple trait:
Rule No.1: Assume Failing Is Impossible!
I once was ejected from an intramural college volleyball game on a team where I was a coach/teacher who had assembled the team from a mix of co-eds and football players. How embarrassing as I look back on it.
People who have known me over the years can attest to the fact of how I hate to lose , even at a family Thanksgiving basketball game!
As I analyze this, I believe it stems from being an overachiever to a fault. Being close , yet so far.
In business it's etched in steel and speaks to risk taking , innovation , and pushing to create what's next.
If anyone were to ask, what is the best piece of advice you can give me, my quick response would be" Failure is not an option"!

The Grand Canyon State Games is a multi-sport Olympic Festival providing a showcase for the talents and aspirations for Arizona and America's youth regardless of age or ability and to share many of the great attributes of our state. In fact we have had a 3 year old come down the mountain in our Winter skiing event and a 99 year old gentleman throw the javelin in our Track & Field event. We truly have something for everyone.
