ENTREPRENEUR

A “Rags to Riches” American Dream

why mentor?

Mentors act as a compass expanding our view of how to navigate life and business. Mentors inspire us to dare greatly, support us during difficult times, and benefit us in becoming better people.

Throughout his journey, Glenn has been brought to his knees by various challenges, carried away by numerous joys, and along the way learned unique lessons of wisdom.  He knows first-hand whatever you fill your mind with, and whomever you choose to surround yourself with, will in large part define the person you become.

Today, Glenn's relationships with his mentors, and the opportunities of giving back by being a mentor himself, count among his most meaningful life experiences.
