First Exposure to the Outdoors

I was very fortunate to have grandparents and parents who were very outdoor-oriented. My paternal grandparents had a place on Moosehead Lake in Maine. I actually spent my first night out under canvas, as they say, in a tent on Moosehead Lake and Little Duck Cove when I was six and a half weeks old. That's a pretty good start. And you know, for the next 15, 16 years my sister and I spent half our summer up there with my paternal grandparents.

Advice

If you have a marketable skill and you love the outdoors, I think it can be very rewarding. And I would encourage people to go down the path. Small business in this country is one of the great success stories of this nation. The main street, small businesses have made a tremendous contribution both economically and socially to this country. So I would encourage small business, I think that there is tremendous value in that.
