loyalty Wayne displayed on a daily basis. He was always reliable, true to his word, and delivered on his obligations and promises. Do you have any entertaining or funny stories to share about your time with Wayne – maybe during your travel escapades together? I have many entertaining and funny stories about Wayne. Wayne and I traveled together all over the country over the past 10+ years. It was recommended at one point we start a YouTube channel documenting our travels and conversations during long car rides and airport layovers. That never quite took off. However, if it had, we would have captured some unbelievable moments, including our run in with a 400lb hog in a breezeway in West Virginia, the time we decided to walk from our hotel to the Integratec office in Atlanta and ended up walking along the side of the interstate, or our unfortunate luck of each of us getting speeding tickets while traveling through the same small town in Texas. Although we had many funny experiences, Wayne and I both agree the funniest experience we had was a couple of years agowhenwewere driving down Hollywood Blvd in Los Angeles to visit one of our properties. We were in typical LA stand-still traffic, however we were close to the property. So, in the middle of Hollywood Blvd, Wayne asked me to get out of the car and walk up to the property while he finds a place to park. Without hesitation I opened the passenger side door. Instantaneously, a screeching sound occurs as a bicyclist riding down
the middle of the street puts on his brakes just before hitting the inside panel of the passenger door that I opened. The bicyclist’s momentum from breaking caused him to fall inside the front seat of our car! The bicyclist then proceeded to hop right up, pick up his bike, and ride off as if nothing happened. As a dad of three children, you’re surely extremely busy. How do you spend your weekends with them? I have a 12 year old son, Bowen, 10 year old daughter, Arden, and 8 year old son, Preston. We are a sports family! I’m a coach for a year- round youth basketball organization, Hickory Hoops. I coach both Bowen and Preston’s teams. In addition to basketball, Preston also plays travel baseball for Fishers Express. Arden plays travel soccer year-round for a local soccer club, Indy Premier, and competes against teams throughout the Midwest. My wife and I “divide and conquer” getting our kids around to all of their sporting events. Every weekend is action-packed. However, we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Best/funniest CREA memory? Besides winning the 2020 CREA Fantasy Football League….I would say the fact that Roger Shank throws me the ultimate birthday party every year, as my birthday falls on International Talk Like A Pirate Day (September 19th). The day consists of scavenger hunts, matching pirate t-shirts, awkward and confusing pirate conversations, and plenty of snacks! Favorite vacation spot? With the kids, it is Destin, FL. Without the kids it is Naples, FL. If you could have a super power, what would it be? I would like to have the power of reading minds. It would certainly help me in Special Assets!
