My Mentor Frank Cestero

A mentor is someone that everyone needs. Whether its your parents or a good friend a mentor is there for advice and guidance in your life. I learned from the program that having a mentor is great for seeing what your life can become. Working with someone who is engaged in the work you are interested in gives you the chance of a lifetime. 
My mentor is a great guy named Frank Cestero, he has a good sense of the business world and gives some good good advice. He grew up in Palm Beach but coming from Puerto Rico he rocks a little latin heat. He got his International Business degree at Auburn University where he became and avid Tigers fan. After working a few jobs he returned to school at Loyola University New Orleans and received his MBA. He now works as the Financial Controller for one of the biggest construction companies in the Gulf Coast Region, Walton Construction. So far he seems like a fun guy that is interested in helping us all out. He taught us that the key to business is connections and what you do with them. I'm looking forward to more great advice and guidance. 
I'm glad I'm able to participate in this Executive Mentor Program, I really think it will be beneficial to my education in Business. I expect to learn from the experienced and gain knowledge that others can't. I expect that this program will set me up with opportunities that others only dream of. This program is great for bringing a class to the real world instead of just on paper. I think a program like this can make anyone successful by placing them with successful people. Of course most of the successfulness will come from my own ambition but I believe with a head start like this I can achieve anything.
