Q&A:

What makes Best Buy Metals unique in the industry?
What makes BBM unique is that they’re all about giving back! It’s not about how full you can make shareholder’s pockets. It’s about providing for brothers and sisters you work with, help in local communities, and across seas as well.

What is your motivating factor every day?
If I wake up. If God has blessed me with another on this earth, then I should make the most of it. I believe everyone else should too! It’s not about the bad things happens to you each day, it’s how you react to those things that matters.

Q&A:

What is your motivating factor every day?
On a personal level, my family. My wife and two boys are amazing – I love working to provide for them and then coming home and leaving it all at the door. On a business level, developing. I love seeing team members thrive, products introduced, and business tools realized.

What is your favorite quote?
“Run hard. Play hard. Never quit. Always give your best. Whether you’re 0 for 4 or going for the cycle, don’t let it affect your tenacity.” – Ronald Acuña Sr.

How do you energize your team?
Coffee and donuts! Seriously, whether things are great or tough, Starbucks & Krispy Kreme is a great answer. One day I may give inspiring pep talks, but until then I’m a student in that field.
