What is the best or most interesting thing about your career?
All of the wonderful, fascinating people who I meet and work with across such a diverse range of industries. I enjoy learning about other industries.
What was your first job?
I worked for a company that refurbished the airbrake systems on railroad cars. I learned to operate heavy equipment and flatbread trucks. I can tell you far more than you’d want to learn about airbrake assembly and repair.
Do you have a “motto?”
Try every day to learn something new. Imagine that knowledge as a grain of sand, and as you go through life you accumulate new grains of sand…creating a beautiful white beach.
