Quotes

"When you are a leader and move in a certain direction and decide to do something, you will never make everyone happy."

"These things are always a team effort."

"They are doing those training programs all over the state."

"They are doing 6 people at a time, every half hour."

"It is a little less technique sensitive than intraoral injections."

"There are no injections we give in the mouth that you use a dart like motion."

"This came up and I said here is my way to really give back and to really make a difference."

"Look at someone who has achieved what you want to achieve, and ask them how they did it."
