I have always enjoyed working with people. My career path has always been customer/client focused. Providing a great service and product is very important to me, whether the service comes directly from me or through the teams that I lead I will always give and demand the best.
I am a consistently hard working, thoughtful and bright employee. Although slightly introverted I love being a part of the team and it is very important to me that ALL my colleagues, not just me or just my team, succeed at our jobs and exceed expectations. I love to share best practices and mentor where I can. I believe a great culture in the workplace is something that should always be a priority and something that can make a good job a great one. I love to make people laugh. I am quick to learn and implement new processes and technologies and always step up to the challenge.
I am a family man at heart. I love and adore my wife; she inspires me every day to be a better man. My kids are a great source of joy and I strive to be an example to them in all avenues of life and they teach me as much as I try to teach them on a daily basis.
I really enjoy being a part of nature. Taking hikes, camping, swimming in a lake, skiing down a mountain or just driving through a beautiful landscape are a few of my favorite things to do.
