    Q&A
    If money were not an issue, what would you be doing right now?

    Money's not an issue, but I'm still on my grind...I do actually love what I do. It's cliché and BS from most people, but my crazy butt loves the game. It's the competition today...

    What words of advice would you give your younger self?

    Hey Troy...go hard in your professional life, you got it brother. But remember that there is a personal life that can't be bought and won't simply be there one day. Plan for both with that same intensity and you'll be a happier 43 year old Troy! ?
