Who or what is your inspiration in business?

My mother is my inspiration. I lost my father at nine months old. She worked and went to college at night. She provided all my needs that at lot of my friends and family couldn't with both parents.

How do you stay motivated?

I'm a veteran with the aches,pains, and issues most of us deal with. In basic training the training instructors emphasized looking the part even when you didn't feel like it and stay active even after you leave the military. The first thing people look at is your physical appearance when you say you are military or law enforcement. They size you up. So I smile, sit up straight and push through each day as if I'm still in my twenties.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I'd use it as a down payment to purchase my mobile cigar lounge.
