ED: What would you say to your younger self when reflecting on experiences with your children when they were young?
Don’t allow anything to get in the way of spending time with your children and being involved in their education. When my children were young I worked shifts while my wife was home with them. My memories of how my parents sacrificed so that their children could have opportunities carried over with my family. Every moment that I had a chance I spent time with my children and still get compliments on how they are making positive impacts in the world.
