"It seems no matter where life has taken me, it always has always led me back to the field. My formative years were spent on a dairy farm in rural Middle Tennessee where the field was the place where the food was grown for the largest contributors to the Anderson family’s livelihood, the dairy cattle. I learned the importance of the preparation of the ground, the planting of the right seed and ultimately, patience.
After coming to know Christ in high school, I went on to college and the book-field, selling books door-to-door for Varsity Corporation/Thomas Nelson, in the Texas heat. There I learned the truths of Dale Carnegie, That Life Is Tremendous, and one should always Think Big! This field made me the man I am and the seeds of a career were planted.
I moved on to the retail field. I learned how to cultivate profits by increasing customer satisfaction and cutting expenses. I began learning the importance of pouring into people and “raising up” leaders. I also met my incredible wife of 25 years, Stephanie. Together we began growing children!!! We have four; two boys, two girls and three beautiful grandchildren to add to the crop!
The next natural step is where I find myself today, helping other business owners and sellers sow and reap the harvest. Over the last 21 years I have consulted numerous business owners, hired and trained several high performance sales leaders, launched two radio stations, and coached hundreds of entrepreneurs. I am now the proud leader of a team of marketing consultants who grow businesses learning their story and then designing and implementing meaningful, integrated, multi-media, marketing campaigns. We don't simply "brand", we "bond" and we love every minute of it."
