Fred Ashman

As a 12 year old a teacher had the class take a very basic aptitude test.  The result were goals.  Freds were to become: a professional trumpet player, an audio engineer, a TV director, and a pilot.
Achieving all those goals by age 30, he continued beyond those goals, becoming a CEO, writer, lecturer, author.   ​He is also a husband, father and grandfather.

"Goals are important, and believing in your dreams sets to stage.  Actively gaining the knowledge skills and experience brings those goals into reach.  Hard work, effort and never giving up makes them reality."
