A typical day in my life includes… Making breakfast for my family, having the opportunity to work at the T.W. Lewis Foundation to help dozens of outstanding non-profit organizations and then back to fun time with the family at home!
I was born… in Detroit, Michigan.
My favorite thing about Arizona… is the weather. Coming from Michigan and the cold winters, living in 120-degree summer heat is easy compared to shoveling snow and scraping ice off windows!
I’m listening to… Pastor Alan Nolan on the Book of Revelation.
My family… is the greatest gift I received from God.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be… George Washington.
One thing I cannot live without… Jesus!
When I was younger, I wanted to be… an FBI agent.
I’m inspired by… my mom.
The person/people who motivate(s) me is/are… my wife and children.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be… tohave more people know Jesus.
The perfect day would be… quality time with my family and a great steak dinner!
My first job was… a newspaper delivery boy at 11 years old.
My favorite escape…the beach.
My life…is in God’s hands.
I’m currently working on… having the TW Lewis Foundation support great local charities to help more people in need this Christmas. Check out TWLewis.com and our social media sites for more information on how every one of us can help the less fortunate this year!
You can connect with the foundation on Facebook (@TWLewisFoundation), Instagram (@twlewisfoundation) and X/Twitter (@TWLewisFound_).
Always…working.
Never… quitting.
Favorite Quote…’This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it’. Psalm 118:24.
Biggest Dream… P.O.T.U.S.
My Pet Peeve(s)… Laziness.
