Vince Lombardi Jr.

Vince Lombardi Jr.

As the son of the late Vincent T. Lombardi, remembered as one of the greatest football coaches in history, Vince's early years were spent in an atmosphere full of personal power and achievement.
Armed with honesty, integrity and authenticity, virtues he places above all others, Vince earned a law degree and maintained a private practice while serving in the Minnesota legislature.
Vince made the jump from law and politics to professional football in 1975 when he joined the fledging Seattle Seahawks as an assistant to the General Manager. He went on to become Assistant Executive Director of the National Football League Management Council as a labor negotiator and later led two United States Football League teams as President and General Manager.
To each of these organizations Vince brought direction, enthusiasm, and the impetus to succeed. He has the remarkable ability to put people ahead of the organization, allowing each individual to do what he does best without losing sight of team goals. He gained a reputation for being tough, yet fair; uncompromising, yet supportive. The individual qualities and character of Vince Lombardi are exciting to witness.
It is an emotional uplift to watch and listen to Vince Lombardi as he weaves together his childhood experiences with his father and his adult experiences from law, politics and professional football.
Vince Lombardi's enthusiasm for growth, change and improved performance, blended with his strong personality and first-hand knowledge of his legendary father's leadership techniques makes for a dynamic presentation.


Dr. Peter Fay

Dr. Peter Fay

After graduating from the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine in 1981 I completed a one year General Practice Residency at Mt. Sinai Medical Center in Miami Beach, Florida. I then spent two years obtaining my Prosthodontics specialty certification at the Veterans Administration Hospital in Houston, Texas, the University of Texas at Houston Dental Branch, and the MD Anderson Hospital and Tumor Clinic. After finishing in 1984 I moved to Maui and began private practice. Currently, I am a visiting faculty member at the Pankey Institute and a speaker & coach with the Growth Into Greatness Dental Practice Management Company. I am also co-Director of the Maui Postgraduate Dental Forum - our local Seattle Study Club.

When I moved to Maui I joined a one year old practice as an associate and over the next 5 years helped create an extremely busy, high volume, insurance dependent, advertising practice open evenings and Saturdays. Shortly after putting my money down and becoming a partner I realized that this was not the way I wanted to practice for the rest of my career. My "school of hard knocks" experiences encountered while transforming that practice into a low volume, insurance independent, referral based, comprehensive care practice (along with thousands of hours of clinical and practice management CE) have provided much of the content of this program.
