Re: Greg Schenk announces his retirement to focus on assisting others to get a foundation in lifelong success!
When I look back when I was 26 years old and didn’t know a thing about Commercial Real Estate Business . I wanted to be able to control the outcome of my life. I knew I had a strong work ethic and I put together a very high goal. Fortunately, over the next 40 years, I was able to hit that goal and do everything I want to do in my life, including traveling the world and helping my son become the best person he could be as importantly we’ve been able to help almost 40 charities around the country through our The Schenk Company , Inc planned giving program!
