1. Where were you born and raised; current city; family; hobbies; past business highlights...
I was born in Quincy, Florida but raised in a small southwest Georgia town called Bainbridge (home of UGA Head Football Coach Kirby Smart). I am married to One-Star Director Rhonda Bazile Griffin and we have two sons, Dorian, age 28, and Devante, age 23. My hobbies include jogging, working out, fishing and BBQing. We currently own and operate two businesses in addition to our travel businesses: Executive Results Driving School and Executive Results Insurance Agency.
2. How have you grown or personally developed since joining PlanNet?
Since joining PlanNet, I have learned to be more humble, coachable, and patient. My Marine Corps background made me uncoachable at first because of my strong-willed tenacity and confidence.
3. What drives you; what motivates you?
What drives me is that I want to be able to travel with my family and parents (both of whom are still living, thankfully, at 89 and 88 years!) and let them enjoy seeing some of this incredible world we live in. I want to also leave a completely debt-free legacy for my grandchildren so that they will not have to endure the financial hardships that I had to suffer through.
4. Who would you consider a role model and why?
My father is my role model.
5. The three words that describe you best are:
Assertive, Relentless and Influential.
6. If you had some sound advice to give to anyone what would it be?
The advice I would give someone is don't ever give up on your dreams! The only way you fail is if you quit!
7. What does your life look like five years from now?
My life five years from now is debt-free, full of joy and peace, fulfilled from helping so many people become comfortably financially secure.
