Why do you do what you do? Managing investments represents a dynamic, intellectual challenge, and opportunity to enhance the lives of others through effective capital allocation.
What is the best advice you have ever received? Never believe yourself to be above picking up a broom and sweeping. I believe in this message, especially as it applies to fostering collaboration and enabling leaders.
For what in life do you feel most grateful? I am most grateful for my family as they represent for me the very definition of purpose.
In another life, I would probably be a theoretical physicist.
One day, I would really like to witness my kids realize their dreams.
My most over-used phrase is, “there is a line of people a mile long waiting to tell you that you cannot accomplish your goals but precious few in the line to remind you that you can.”
The best book I have ever read is The Count of Monte Cristo.
