JIM GLIDEWELL
FOUNDER/PRESIDENT, GLIDEWELL LABORATORIES
WHY: Founder of largest dental firm based in Orange County, with 4K employees, including 1.5K in Irvine.
NOTABLE: Author of “Constant Change; Adventures in Business and Life.”
QUOTABLE: “It’s funny how everything can change in a single moment that, at the time, goes unrecognized. I ran into an old buddy of mine, Rex Frehner, and sold him a policy. He was a friend from my earlier days in Vegas, who happened to be a dental technician… I took one look at what he was doing, and I thought, “This is fascinating.” Here was the kind of work I loved.” — Leader Board
