as we started a non-profit called Strive. When we were just starting
the Strive Program, Vic truly put his money where his mouth was
and donated a very, very large amount that helped us get out
of the box and running. Without Vic's support Strive never would
have had a chance to open the doors. Many people talk about starting
something that will benefit others, but due to obligations can't
see the project through. Vic saw the need and got it done.”

these
two qualities because they produce results. Victor, in my view, certainly

has my respect and friendship as a result."

"I really got to know Victor in the fall of 2001. I was in an unfortunate
situation where I needed a helping hand due to a dispute with the
board at
my former company. Victor really came through for me. He hired
me first as
a consultant and then as an employee. All the while, helping me
lay the
groundwork to regain control of the board. This was finally accomplished
in
the summer of 2003. There are not many people out there who would
do what
Victor did for me. He not only gave me a helping hand when I needed
it, he
made my problem his own and saw it through to the end. I owe a
lot to
Victor and I would be proud to have him represent me in the state
legislature."
