What motivates you to support and mentor others on a project team?

“High tide raises all ships” has always reflected how I view teamwork. Throughout my career, I’ve learned that successful projects depend on the strength of the entire team, not just individual contributors. I believe in supporting the people around me, sharing knowledge, and creating an environment where everyone can succeed, because when the team performs well, the project succeeds as a whole.

What are some of your favorite hobbies?

I enjoy playing basketball, snowboarding, and spending time with my kids. I like to make the most out of life by staying active and being around family and friends.
