Dino Rachiele (That's me on the right next to my princess, Lisa)

This stuff might look impressive, but most of what I have learned was from listening to people more successful than I.

Years ago, when I first started a real job, I asked my boss what he thought I should do in order to be successful. He was a very successful entrepreneur. His response was simple... "Want to catch a cold? Hang around someone with a cold".

It was the best advise I have ever received.

So... Here are some of my accomplishments.

First and foremost, I have three wonderful children and four adorable grandchildren. I would also like to thank my parents, who have always shown nothing but love and support.
