HOW HAS YOUR JOB AND CAREER ENLIGHTENED YOU?
Building a career with an ethical, global company that has allowed me to see much more of the world than I could have ever imagined as a kid.
WHAT BOOK HAS GIVEN YOU GREAT INSIGHTS?
A childhood friend’s mother introduced me to a great book: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. The principles explained are practical in both personal and professional pursuits…be impeccable with your word; don’t take anything personally; don’t make assumptions; and always do your best.
YOUR LIFE GOAL?
Living a life that I am proud to leave behind. I hope to be measured by how I showed up for my family, friends, colleagues and the community.
WHAT SKILLS INFLUENCE HOW YOU DO YOUR JOB?
Maintaining a high level of curiosity. Namely staying open to new ideas, listening, avoiding cynicism, and most importantly, not being afraid to peek under the hood.
WHO WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO PLAY “YOU” IN A MOVIE?
The Rock…for obvious reasons! He’s a bit older than me, but the brawn makes up for any age difference.
