I had always loved coming up with ideas and solutions, but just never knew how to act on them. After being introduced to the right people and earning their mentorship I now had a way to pursue my WHY. I think I defined my WHY best in my SBU lacrosse bio under goal in life, I wrote “to be a good family guy.” That is WHY I was attracted to my mentors. They had the family, spiritual, and financial lives that I wanted. They were truly successful in my eyes and my measure of success was not just based on how much money you make, but rather on how many people are better off because you lived.
