Hobbies. Country Music, Swing Dancing, Reading History and Business Books. Currently Reading "Masters of the Air"by Donald Miller. Great Book about America's flyboys in the 8th Army Air Corp during WWII. Before that finished "Good to Great" by James Collins, taking it to the next level.

Most influential book read: "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill. Life changing reading. If you haven't read it, go get it now.

Sports: Love those Philly teams; Phillies, Sixers, Eagles and Flyers. One of these days we will get a championship.

Married to Gloria for 36 years. She's the best; my partner, critic and psychologist. Couldn't have made it without her.

Two sons, Nick and Brad. Both gave up promising careers to come and work with the old man. Nick's our IT Director, brought us into the 21st Century. Brad, learning the ropes of management after selling for the last 4 years.
