Personal motto:
“Whatever is worth doing at all, is worth doing well.”

How I inspire my team:
I try to lead by example and come to work with a good attitude, even though that may be difficult more times than not. I think my team wants to understand expectations but also wants the freedom to operate independently and take risks. I try to inspire the group by displaying high energy and also by laying out a plan that is aggressive but also attainable.
Go-to destination:
The British Virgin Islands on a boat. It is one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen and there is no need for plans. The general flow is wake up, move to a different island and run off your own schedule for the remainder of the day. In a busy lifestyle, the ability to go with the flow in a beautiful place is always welcome.
