The number one most influential person in my life is my father. He taught me honesty, integrity, and how to stand up for what I believe in. He instilled in me a strong work ethic and showed me the value of discipline.
Almost everything he tells me – advice, reprimands, encouragement – I eventually find to be true, whether or not I accept it at the time. For this I know I can always trust him and I have the utmost respect for him.
