We are wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all of the fathers especially the father of our Founder & Principal Consultant, Cassandra C. Smith MHRIR SPHR who describes her father as
“a Retired Railroad Engineer for United Pacific Railway, Navy Veteran, Retired Self Employed Real Estate Landlord & Rehab Entrepreneur who started his career as a newspaper boy and construction apprentice.”
“He is the man who taught me about business, politics, real estate, the importance of reading the newspaper 🗞️, work ethic, sacrifice, caring less about people’s negative’s opinions (including his own at times haha), how to put air in my tire 🛞 (even though I still will probably ask the nearest man around haha), to live my life including living and working in different cities.
He is one of our country’s hero (Navy Vietnam Vet) and while we don’t always see eye to eye on every topic including but not limited to some politics, we share some fundamental principles that show up in who I am and how I lead today.
