What is the most important thing someone can do to develop their business?
Be passionate and surround themselves with great people.
If you were Prime Minister for one day, what would you do?
Not much you can do in a day… fly to an exotic destination on the Prime Minister’s plane; lobby for Surety Bonds to be required for all public procurement at all levels of government.

Which is it – coffee or tea? And more importantly, what flavour?

Hockey, football, baseball or opera?
Hockey, definitely.
If you could invite any three people in the world to dinner (dead or alive), who would they be and why?
My parents and my kids (ok that’s more than 3). My parents are no longer with me and I’d like them to see my kids today.
