What’s the best advice you’ve ever received?
Progress often hides in plain sight, and what once felt insignificant eventually grows into something undeniable. The key is finding joy in stacking the days.
What’s one thing people might be surprised to learn about you?
To this day, my parents run a manufacturing business together, and as a kid I had a front-row seat to the decisions, the tradeoffs, the wins, and the losses. Looking back, it was such a unique part of my childhood and remains one of the biggest influences on how I think about business and family.
If you could live anywhere in the world for a year, where would it be?
I’d choose Sun Valley, Idaho. Nothing beats world-class skiing in the winter and endless trails and activities in the summer.
What’s your favorite way to spend a Saturday?
Saturdays are best started off by logging miles with my wife and our dog and best completed with a big meal. Running helps me gain clarity and relax, and there is nothing better than being in that flow state with the people (and pup) I love. Top it off with a well-earned meal with family or friends and you’ve got the perfect Saturday.
