It’s not always easy, it’s not always comfortable, but it’s just that step of faith sometimes that you say, I’m not sure how this is gonna work, but I feel led to do this. I just feel led that this is where God would have me go. @Dchjr11 #theartofplayingwell

In all of our companies we have three core values: integrity, service, and excellence. And to me, excellence is the idea that if we’re going to do it, we want to do it and strive to be the best. @Dchjr11 #theartofplayingwell

I have this strong sense of always striving, that no matter what you achieve, you continue to push forward. And we celebrate wins, but I just believe we’re called to excellence. @Dchjr11 #theartofplayingwell

It’s all a journey. You never arrive. Mr. McRae used to say, “If you’re green, you’re growing, if you’re ripe, you’re rotten.” And once you feel like you’ve arrived, that’s the beginning of rot. @Dchjr11 #theartofplayingwell
