“Don’t ever stop learning and growing – this
is the best piece of business advice I can think
to pass on. The more you learn and grow, the
better your life will become. If you continue to
grow your level of skill in your chosen field,
you will become a master at what you do.”
Jackson Jewelers

from the Gemological Institute of America, and
the vice president and general manager at
Jackson Jewelers – a business built by his
father and John Winstead. He is also a graduate
of Pearl High School and Mississippi State

dedicates it to spending time with his wife and
their two boys.
“I am most proud to be a part of a growing,
successful business built by my dad, Ron
Muffuletto, and his late business partner, John
Winstead. Also, being able to help celebrate all
the special occasions with families and couples
makes what I do worthwhile.”
“The best business advice I’ve ever been
given is to offer the best possible customer
service. Also, to do the best you can do in all the
things you can control, and have faith in God to
lead you through the things you cannot.”
The Winning Smile Dental Group
Dr. Dustin Pambianchi is actively involved in
the Jackson Dental Society, Academy of

the Knights of Columbus, and was a 2019 Real

“I am so proud of the difference that I am
able to help make in the health of my patients.
Knowing that I am playing a role in improving
the life/health of Mississippians makes me
proud. Also, by having a strong presence in
the communities we serve, the Winning Smile
is able to give back through volunteer service
projects and donations to local charities.”
“The best business advice I’ve ever
received: set high standards. Your standards
will dictate the atmosphere of your practice,
employers’ opinions, employees’ attitudes,
patient relationships, and ultimately your
financial success. You have to know how to
change and how to adapt. A perfect example
is the Covid-19 crisis. We have a responsibility
and commitment to our patients and our staff
that we are practicing in the safest environment
and are staying up to date with the latest
research and guidelines.”
