What’s a misconception about your position?

Some people don’t have a clue about what I do or the industry I work in, and others in the industry know exactly what I do! The biggest misconception is that it’s quite easy, when in fact it isn’t and it takes time and effort.

What's an accomplishment you're really proud of?

As a younger man, getting a black belt in Shaolin Kung Fu (at 25), and as an older man, taking up Ice Hockey at 44 despite not being able to ice skate very well – I had a very steep learning curve!

How would you spend 30 minutes of free time?

I love to meditate or exercise while watching a YouTube video.

Are you an early bird or a night owl?

I’m a night owl, but I can persuade myself to be an early bird if need be!

What is your motto or personal mantra?

Always find happy thoughts. With a positive mind and outlook, challenges are much easier to overcome.
