After working in a pharmacy while I was in high school, my childhood dream was to become the best pharmacist possible.

I graduated from the UT College of Pharmacy in Austin, TX, in 1965.

Pharmacy has been my passion. I love greeting every patient with a smile, filling their prescriptions, talking and counseling them. Having them leave with a smile on their faces gives me much satisfaction. I try to make every patient happy no matter how sick they are.More »

Are you a "Difference Maker"?

I have two books that I reference quite often when I speak to individuals or groups about my own successes in business. The first is The Difference Maker, Making Your Attitude Your Greatest Asset by John Maxwell. The title alone gives you the call to action, let your attitude be such that you can make a difference in your life and those around you. Pretty simple concept that seems very difficult for most people to implement. The second book, actually more of a short story, is one of my all time favorites. If you have read or heard the story of Johnny The Bagger by Barbara Gantz (http://www.barbaraglanz.com/store/johnny/), you may have been inspired to become a difference maker. In summary, a teenage boy with Down syndrome decides to make his attitude his greatest asset and it becomes infectious. His inspiring notes left in the grocery bags of his customers change the culture of an entire company.More »
