WHAT I READ: I never went to college, so I used books as my college. I love business and personal development books.

LAST BOOK READ: The last book I read was Entreleadership by Dave Ramsey -- awesome book about leadership and how to grow a business.

BOOK THAT MOVED ME: Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki was the first book I ever read by choice, and it began the journey of success and personal development.

ALL-TIME FAVORITES: I could easily list 15 favorite books, so this is a hard one. Think and Grow Rich by Napolean Hill, The Power of Positive Thinking by Norman Vincent Peale, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale

FAVORITE AUTHOR AND WHY: My favorite author would have to be Jim Rohn. He has a way of simplifying concepts to be used for success in life and success in business.

WHAT I READ AT THE BEACH: I can never be caught on a plane or on a vacation without some kind of fitness magazine!

IVE BEEN MEANING TO READ: Any book by Warren Buffet -- I have yet to read any of his books.
