"I love developing people to be their best. I also enjoy the challenges involved with finding the proper solutions to problems that I see coming down the road, and taking an immediate course correction. There is nothing I really hate about being GM. There are some frustrating moments, but that's true with everything. The trick is, to turn it into a positive, and make it into a gain."
