“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” – Michael Scott/Wayne Gretzky

Olive and Oak owned by our friend and industry colleague Greg Ortyl. Go there for a big dinner, or try the bar for Oysters and amazing appetizers along with top shelf drinks.

Toasted ravioli from any restaurant on “The Hill”.
Mountains or beach?
Used to say beach, but then I visited Yellowstone and the Grand Teton National Park. So now it’s both!
Anything else you’d like to share?
Yes, life is good when you are surrounded by great people who put others first. This is the key to LB Networks success. I knew 14 years ago that building a great company with Scott Shelly and Ray Chiu was going to not only bring success, but also allow us to enjoy helping all of our friends in this industry.
