nvarnished perspective of a businessman and poultry farmer who truly believed in building a house on God's sure foundation, a solid rock. In business, in politics, and in life, I am happy to have lived through every failure and success, and with unapologetic confidence in God's guiding hand in my life. I set out with a faith that was the size of a tiny mustard seed and found the courage to live a life of integrity, of influence, and a passion for excellence.

My courage is rooted in a God whose relentless love and faithfulness grounds those who truly lean on Him. His grace guides my every step, and His promise of a future and of hope is true indeed. In my life, a faith anchored in God's love is what gave me a boundless optimism for living every day, for an extraordinary perspective of His amazing grace, and for the Courage to Lead.
