He attributes his successes to hard work, taking action to actualize his dreams and not letting temporary setbacks create a permanent barrier between him and his goals. He states that helping people with needs overcome their own obstacles and realize their dreams is the motivating force driving his work.

After earning his bachelor’s degree from Syracuse University, Lubar began his career in the mortgage industry working for Crestar Mortgage Corporation from 1995 to 1999.
