My Brother
Doug Schultz
When I was seven and he was six, we lived in San Marcos, Texas. One day, while we were riding bikes home from school, a 56 Ford hit Doug, throwing him into a tree. The driver kept going. As I was running to a nearby convent for help, I remember thinking he was going to die. He had emergency surgery to remove his spleen and received special family treatment for the rest of his childhood. (I had to throw that in!)
I do not know if Doug would agree, but I do not think either of us would have the success we enjoy today, had we not been brothers so close in age. We have both always wanted success, and I feel that our “friendly” sibling rivalry has helped to pushed each other.
In business, I think I was able to help him with automation, accounting, and organization during a time he needed my help, and he was able to help me with client contacts and referrals at a time I needed his help.
We have always been close, had the same interest (mostly cars), have worked hard, and had big ambitions. We both hated our economic situation growing up - but he dealt with it much better than I did.
Doug is a very generous man who looks out for those in our family who may be less fortunate. So long as Doug has a company, no one in the family will be unemployed. So long as he has money in the bank, no one in his family will be without a car. Anyone in the family who wants a good education - will receive one.
