Dennis Nussbaum - Mentor for how to work

Dennis was one of my earliest and most profound mentors. My boss at three different companies, in 1974, 1976, and again in 1996, Dennis was for me the human equivalent of the Nike commercial "Just Do It". Dennis liked my energy and working style enough to always give me a tough job in the shop. But he had no patience for my sometime tendency to over-analyze, and didn't hesitate to tell me so the instant it was necessary. It didn't take too many times, I took everything that Dennis said very seriously, and I believe I owe a huge part of whatever success I have had to my time under Dennis.
