“Absolutely. Without any doubt,<br />

I would do it again.”<br />

It all comes full circle: “<strong>The</strong> biggest thing for me,<br />

in the position that I had in the military and now<br />

having this job is to be able to give back to veterans.<br />

It is huge for me, because I know that a lot of them<br />

get taken advantage of. I want them to get into the<br />

home they deserve for the right price and the right<br />

interest rate. VA loans are amazing. <strong>The</strong>re are<br />

many great advantages that many veterans do not<br />

know about.”<br />

When asked what the phrase “the good life” means<br />

to him, Tibiatowski enthusiastically answered:<br />

“’<strong>The</strong> good life’ means being healthy, happy and<br />

able to provide for my family. I don’t need to be a<br />

millionaire or go on exotic vacations. I enjoy being<br />

able to give back — to be able to watch my kids<br />

grow and be healthy. To me that’s the good life. It’s<br />

having my family <strong>–</strong> I love that.”<br />

Finally, I asked Tibiatowski if, going back in time,<br />

and given the choice to again join the Navy, if he<br />

would do it and he said: “Absolutely. Without any<br />

doubt, I would do it again.” •<br />
