What’s your favorite activity/hobby outside of work?

When I’m not at the helm of VETS, LLC, you can find me steering my boat or out for a run. The open water and a good run clear my mind, and spending time with family and friends keeps me grounded and recharged.

If you had unlimited funds, what would you do first?

I’d travel the world, helping people who need it most and making a difference. Also, I could finally buy that yacht with a helicopter for quick getaways between acts of kindness!

What place would you like to visit and why?

I’d love to visit the moon. It would be the ultimate destination for gaining perspective and literally looking at the world from a different angle. Plus, no one could top the vacation photos!

Who inspires you?

I draw a lot of inspiration from Thomas Edison. He had a relentless drive to innovate and improve, famously saying, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” It’s a good reminder that every step, even the missteps, is part of the journey to success.
