My life and career is built on the belief that we can do well while doing good. Each of us has the ability to find success in something that makes things better. The challenge is finding what you love and believing in yourself enough to pursue it.
I was raised in media following in the footsteps of my father a radio trailblazer. More than following Cody Anderson's business path I aspire to be the man that he was who cared everyday about making a difference.
