I’m most proud of the personal relationships I’ve built and maintained in the industry. A large number of my very best friends today are people I met 20 years ago as an Account Executive.

She’d most likely say something along the lines of “he’s my favorite child” – mind you, I’m her only child…

As my friends and kids can attest, I like to relax by doing yard work and spending far too much time in my garden. When I’m not trying to relax, you’ll find me on the golf course. And then in the winter, there’s nothing more I love than skiing with my boys (and yes, they’re much faster and certainly more fearless than I am).
My favorite part of the day is whenever we hit send on a huge batch of materials to the client – it’s such a team effort to get there and there’s such a sense of accomplishment.
