How I Spend My Day at Motivators: Each day starts with a review of my daily tasks and meeting with my team. I am always motivating and mentoring my team, coming up with new ideas so motivators.com can stand apart from our competition. That is, until they copy us (stop copying us and you know who you are!!!). I spend a great deal of time doing research and anything that is needed to achieve our goal of making Motivators.com “the place” to buy promotional products, while crushing our competition.

Outside Activities: My outside activities consist of spending time with my lovely wife, my two daughters and my son as well as visiting my parents. Other hobbies include day dreaming about Motivators.com (that’s how the ideas come to me), gaming (Xbox 360), and recently gardening. It’s sad to say majority of my outside activities relate back to Motivators.com because I love what I do and truly want Motivators.com to become the top site in the Promotional Product Industry. For this reason I would like to publicly thank my wife for being patient with me.

If I am not making adjustment to current products we have for sale I am looking for the latest and greatest promotional products to add. Theme pages are also a big part of my day; making sure that each theme includes the best items available. I meet with our manufactures and maintain close relationships with them to keep on top of what is currently available. I also, on occasion, get to attend trade shows and other industry events to gain new insight into what is happening in the world of promotions.

Outside Activities: Playing sports when possible (mostly the 3 major American sports... Sorry Hockey) and I like to write. I would be lying if I didn’t admit that I love my television, but the programming I enjoy the most are those that stimulate your brain or actually teaches you something. Reality shows have no place on my DVR unless they are cooking competitions.
