Architect Appreciation Day      
Garrett Hoskins, Architect 

One day an architect walked into All Pro..... No, it's not a joke! it's the story of how we came to find our great new architect, Garrett Hoskins. Early in the summer of 2011, Garrett walked in to the office to solicit his drawing services. He and Paul hit it off right away. Garrett is a runner like Paul, and he is also a family man at heart, with a wife, Erin, and kids, Kali & River, that he loves to brag about. Paul could tell immediately that he was going to be a good fit in the All Pro family. Timing couldn't have been more perfect, as our previous long-time architect had recently retired.
 
Last month marked the momentous occasion of Garrett passing his Architect's examination. After 7 phases of testing....He is now 100% official!  Working with him over the last couple years has been a dream come true. He is a truly skilled architect and extremely positive, never without a smile on his face. The All Pro Builders team is happy to have him on board and we look forward to drawing & building many more projects together. We think this is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship....

We are very proud of him and his dedication & commitment to excellence. He is a great friend, a wonderful husband & father and a great son. Congratulations Garrett!

 

Tips from the Pro
Survival of the Fittest.... 

This month we're talking about Breast Cancer Awareness with our pink theme. It's a serious topic, but an important one. As many of you know, I am a [testicular] cancer survivor. The day I found out is the day my whole life changed completely. Not just for the short term while I was going through the treatments. I decided right then that I needed to make big changes that would make me a better & healthier person all-around.

 

Now that I'm out of the woods, I always try to show others who are going through the same thing the path that I followed before, during and after that helped me be here today.

  • Self-Awareness/Self-Examination - Be aware of what is happening with yourself...you know when something is wrong. Make sure you have all your recommended check-ups and if you aren't sure about something - ASK!
  • Seek Counsel - Determine the proper physician and GO meet with them; don't be stubborn and don't delay. It can be overwhelming at first, but you need to catch these things early.
  • Support - Ask for it (for yourself) and give it (to others) as well. You can join a support group or get into fundraisers. I started running in races to raise money for research and treatment.
  • Health & Diet - Make whatever changes are necessary & recommended. You'd be amazed by how great you can feel when you treat your body right.
  • Community - Learn & participate. There are all kinds of advances being made these days in treatment and prevention. Hook up with groups of survivors who will understand your experience. And share it! The one thing you gain from it is a new outlook and appreciation for life. Pass it on!
  • Show you care - For those of you who have a loved one who is going through treatment and they act like it is no big deal; go with them anyway. Sit with them, be there for them just in case they want to talk. It will mean the world to them. The words "I love you" and a hug go a long way! 

After all is said & done the cancer was the best thing that happened to me. It brought me back to a right relationship with God and gave me a son who is the greatest gift Lisa and I have ever been given as a family. [I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. -Philippians 4:13]  

 

If anyone out there is battling cancer, or knows someone who is, I hope these tips will help you. Raising awareness is something that can be done all year long, so rock the pink or run in a race or just talk about health. We can beat this!

Fundraise Outside the Box From comedy shows to wine tasting to bridal gown auctions, the Orange County area has many upcoming events that support breast cancer awareness.
  
Making Strides The American Cancer Society has fundraiser walks all through California ..... including one in Whittier in August!

Travel to Help If you're willing to go a little more out of your way, you can go on an epic journey to one of the fabulous locations for a 3 Day walk event of a lifetime. You get a cute bracelet too!

For all the women in your life and all the people affected by cancer, wherever and however you can, keep walking.
