Hi Jay , thanks for sharing your insights with our community today. Part of your success, no doubt, is due to your work ethic and so we’d love if you could open up about where you got your work ethic from?
I believe I got my work ethic from mother and father. All of my life I have watched both of my parents work for every thing they have. My father being a Pastor over 30 years , running a church ,making sure everything is done right and with integrity. My mother was a teacher for some 25+ years, retired from the school system &began her own Curriculum Consulting Firm. She literally took a dream of hers and made it a reality .

Great, so let’s take a few minutes and cover your story. What should folks know about you and what you do?
