“I have had the good fortune to be surrounded my entire life by wise, generous and supportive family and friends. When my son graduated from high school I started to recall all of the good advice I have received over the years. I started with a handful of items… then the list kept growing. These are lessons I have learned from the patient guiding hands of my parents, friends and mentors as well as my own mistakes.

I hope you are able to find these rules as valuable as I have, and that they’ll assist your son as he begins his journey through life.”
