Biggest obstacle overcome |
Me! I’ve found that my biggest obstacle is often my own fears and judgments. I realized that the sooner I could overcome and conquer my fears, the easier it was for me to welcome new opportunities and successes.

Biggest business mistake |
Mistakes are just a part of life, so go out there and make them. Mistakes accelerate learning opportunities and with that said…I have sure learned a lot! Let me give you an example, if you say you are customer driven, publish it on your website, marketing materials, etc…be consistent and perform.

Biggest vice |
Microsoft Outlook. I’m addicted to organizing my calendar and outlook files, locating birthday’s for all of my contacts, and maliciously maintaining updated information. I made fun of about this and may need intervention.

Biggest advice for others |
Make people a priority in your life. Systems are great and important too, but people drive change, evolution and humanity. Make relationships a priority – personally and professionally.

What I do for fun |
Work and play are interchangeable, especially when you what you do. Outside of my career, I enjoy cooking, traveling, skiing, boating, and spending time with friends.

Most embarrassing business moment |
I have struggled for years working to improve my skills with remembering names. A few years back, I was meeting with an important client and in the middle of our meeting; my new client asked me why I kept referring to him as “sir” and asked me to use his first name. (Panic struck!) and I had to apologize and explain to my client that I had forgotten his name.
