I am Rodney K. Erb and my favorite things in life are my friends and family but my circle of friends extends into my interests and hobbies. I love computers which evolved into a very successful Computer Consulting Company. Also, as the Director of Religious Education at my parish I love teaching children to "...Love thy neighbor as thyself..." Many of them have grown up and I'm so proud of the morale and upstanding people they have become. I'm very proud to be associated in leadership roles with my College Alumni Association and work with some wonderful and outstanding leaders of our country. Finally, I always find time for Golfing, Body Building and meticulously watching what I eat and taking the right supplements. All this has helped me to stay healthy and been instrumental in my ability to run three sub 3-hour marathons (yes - the 26.2 mile types) as well as keep very active and have a passion for life!
There are a few things in this life that we can truly be proud of, but I can think of one thing in particular I would like to share with you. Like any proud Father, the proudest moment and greatest achievements in my life have been fathering 3 wonderful children who are now all successful adults. Of course, sharing their experiences with the greatest person in my life, my wife of 30 years, K.C., make it all worthwhile. You can understand my feelings by reading my poem from my 25th Anniversary at http://www.rke-inc.com/25_years.htm.
The silliest or craziest thing that I've ever done? I've done some pretty wild things in my life - all of which I am proud of. From surviving four challenging years at West Point, becoming the Eastern Intercollegiate Bowling Champion, to Swimming, Diving and Golfing on the Intercllegiate Athletic teams - followed by being an Airborne, Jumpmaster and Ranger in the Army and surviving a tour in Vietnam with a Bronze Star - I'm a survivor and very grateful God has granted me each and everyday to continue to enjoy life! Remember, everyday is an adventure and we must learn to be grateful we have today to face it!
The greatest benefit of owning my own home-based business is that I am my own boss - I don't have to report to anyone but myself and guess what? I'm the most demanding boss on myself and the results or failures are my own responsibility! As long as we keep trying God will see to it we will succeed - His plan is that we all work together for a better, happier life!
My life has taken some interesting twists and turns. But the most important was deciding that working for a Corporation no longer fit my values and 9 years ago I started my own successful company. It has been a lot of hard work but worth every minute and my success is with the friends and relationships I have established through the years. People will never remember you for your big house, fancy car or the size of your paycheck, but they will remember you if you made THEM feel good about THEMselves! Let me close by leaving you with my favorite quote from Eleanor Roosevelt that has always driven me to achieve my success - "The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams..." Please, don't ever, EVER quit DREAMING!!!
Interests: I love writing Poetry, running marathons, cycling, swimming, Body-Building, eating right and healthy, running my own Corporation and business, teaching children in religious education, working with my West Point Alumni Association.
