I have over 20 years of sales experience and 5 years of sales management experience, mostly in the yellow pages industry. As an entrepreneur, I have created several small businesses; from selling baked goods at the farmers market, a small farm with Blueberry and Pumpkin patch, and having a M.A.R.S. (Mobile Appearance Reconditioning Service) franchise. I am owner of Lane's Enterprises which consist of several small businesses utilizing my talent and passion for hospitality and cooking and I have a Saladmaster Cookware Dealership. As of November 2007, I am Co-Founder/Editor and webmaster of The Kingdom Business Journal. The Kingdom Business Journal teaches Kingdom principles for success and ministry in the marketplace.

Kingdom Business Journal is in the development stage of a small business training course. This will be offered in a seminar style venue and will be directed toward people wanting to start a small business or improve their current small business.
My wife and I are in the process of writing a cookbook and developing a cooking program for families who are experiencing difficult financial times. The projects goal to help them prepare meals for a family of 6 using what they have in the cupboards.
Every 3rd Sunday I am heading up preparing a breakfast at a local mission. The mission has a church service for open for all and afterward they are invited to stay for a hot meal.
Describe your passion about giving back
From my childhood I have a passion for helping the needy. My family has had experienced some diffucult times and that has inspired me to pursue this even more.
I have had many opportunities and through them I have either developed or discovered the gifts that God has given me. I think the the impact I can have is by being a connector and help to others achieve their dreams.
Describe the legacy you want to leave
The most important legacy is that my children serve the Lord and that it will have an impact for generations.
