1. What is some advice you’d give to your 20-year-old self?
Buy a boat and go fishing and camping more often with your family!
2. Best work-related advice you’ve ever gotten?
The best work advice I have ever received is from the Bible. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men – Colossians 3:23 This verse puts things in perspective that God and not just your boss is watching over you and this gives you a much higher purpose no matter what your job is.
3. What’s your favorite thing about your job?
I like helping people whether it is clients or team members. It is a great feeling to help a client with an issue or deliver a successful project and it is just as great to help a team member achieve their goals.
