Who/What Has Been Your Biggest Influence in Life?

I would say, my Father. He taught me the importance of working hard and being a good provider. Also, he was a great communicator and generally well-liked by everyone he dealt with. My Dad also passed along a love for fishing and boating and a love of the outdoors.
