“My business partner (Brent Dyer–Commerce High and Delt at ETSU) and I have been in the college textbook business since college. It’s great to get to pick your friends, and get to pick the people you work with ALSO! I take great pleasure in helping my employees succeed at work and in life.
My real passion is to travel. My favorite hot spot is a seat on an American Airlines airplane. Sitting there means I am on the way to a great resort destination, or am returning from a great vacation with a few souvenirs and a head full of great memories.
I really enjoy playing golf at resort destinations, fine dining at new restaurants, attending sporting events, cooking, and entertaining friends at my house.
Past trips include: Hawaii(17 times), Mexico(22), New Orleans(65), Las Vegas(56), Hong Kong, Belize(2), Canada(7), Alaska, Tahiti, France(3), Greek Islands, 40 different Caribbean Islands, London(2), Costa Rica, Istanbul, Swiss Alps, Galapagos Islands, New Zealand. Yes, I do love to travel!!!”
