Passions

One of my favorite quotes is, "Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact, it is an option. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing!" -Muhammed Ali I feel that one of my greatest accomplishments in life is my relationship with my wife Jenene, and 5 adult daughters and their families. I am a passionate philanthropist as well as the co-founder of Megamorphosis Magazine. I am a former board member of Bayside Church. I also sit on the Board of Together America and am currently the President of Playmakers, a non-profit dedicated to empowering underprivileged youth through athletics. My legacy goal is to donate 90% of my income to my favorite ministries and charities.
