Joshua's Story
Life
Update:
Dec. 25th 2004, Shannon and I have just puchased our Dream Home right outside of Boise Idaho. It is roughly 4,000 square foot custom home on 5.25 acres w, stables on the water front! I would have NEVER thought I would live in a place this beautiful. I will have pictures up in the "Photo Album" very soon! God Bless...
I would say my High School years were quite a blur! I enjoyed many things throughout the years, most of all the friendships and good times. I was the type that was rather bored with my High School studies. I left Sevier County High School at the end of my Jr. Year. When my parents lost their jobs and we moved to Hickory North Carolina. Very soon I enrolled into the local high school, for one day!
I spent the next several years living on my own back in Tennessee and Florida. I thought I had the world in my hands! Although I had a lot of fun then too! I soon realized that had been a HUGE mistake in my life and obtained my diploma in a very short period of time. With a lot a help from a great woman who is now my wife! I went straight to college and was always ranked in the "Top 5" of my class and went to work in marketing and advertising. Shannon and I were married in June of '95 and we had our son Dallas in December of '97. I soon started my career with Sysco Food Services as a Marketing Associate.
On May 15th of 1998 I was in a horrific racing accident at the local race track and spent the next 5 months in a wheelchair, with both legs broken. After a complete recovery we moved to Sandpoint Idaho and spent the next couple of years there working for Sysco. That is where our first daughter Whitney was born in the fall of '99.
In March of 20...Expand for more
00 we moved back to Utah to work for US Food Services as a Territory Sales Manager. In the winter of 2002 we had our third and final child Katelynn Faith. As Jeff Foxworthy says "I took myself out of the gene pool!"
In July of 2002 my company "Downsized" and I became one of their victims! Two weeks before I lost my job I was introduced to a company called Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing out of Lexington Kentucky. We joined that company so my wife could leave her career as an Accountant/Bookkeeper and stay home with our 3 children. Little did we know 2 weeks later I would lose my job? We told ourselves this would never happen to us again and I started working vigorously on our new business, while being a "Mr. Mom"! Let me tell you my experience was no different from the movie! Within 7 months we had not only replaced my income we had replaced Shannon's as well! It was a good thing because Shannon's company was "Downsizing" as well and her position was an the "Choping Block"! We have now fulfilled her dream being home with her 3 angels!
We have been with Fortune Hi-Tech Marketing for 2 years now. We are achieveing our financial goals and much more through what my grandmother would call "One of them Thangs", in her Tennessee slang!
I guess most then would call me a dreamer! I saw that as a curse back then, however I see it as a blessing now, because most of us after all our time in schools, colleges and the game of Life forget our Dreams! We now travel around America teaching thousands of people how to dream again!
