Q+A with Michael

Q: What does “hustle” mean to you?  

A“Difficult takes a day, impossible takes a week.”  There isn’t anything we can’t do to help our clients. We will always make a solution.  

 

Q: What was your first job?   

A: Technically, bagger at a Cleveland-area grocery store, but the high school job that I valued the most was as a page shelving books at the Parma Regional Library. I failed to get that job twice, but third time was a charm.  

 

Q: What’s your third favorite ice cream flavor?   

A: Mint Chocolate Chip 

 

Q: Your idea of an epic evening… 

A: Our evening begins with friends and family at Villa San Goerzo where the candlelight is just right, the hi-fi is in the background, and the wine is delicious. 

 

Q: What’s your definition of success?  

A: Find something you love to do and then… do it for the rest of your life.
