I truly enjoy hearing the stories from entrepreneurs and visionaries who have worked for decades to create their businesses. These businesses become like children to them and a large part of their essential self.

Our family grew up in standardbred horse racing. We spent many a day primping and polishing the finest young stock to walk out onto the showroom floor at the select yearling sale.

Never in my long-standing experience in the accounting profession (from my picture you might not have guessed that I have been in the profession for 26 years) have I seen a period of such change.
