Excellence is my personal brand. My commitment to it is unwavering.

Here are some of my favorite quotes about excellence.

  ~Aristotle
• “If a man is called to be a street sweeper, he should sweep streets even as a Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music or Shakespeare wrote poetry. He should sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, ‘Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.”
  ~Martin Luther King, Jr.
