Hard work. Ambition. Teamwork.
The highest levels of success are achieved through fierce commitment to the work at hand, a singular focus to achieve one's potential, and leveraging the collective power of a team. These themes have presented across the many professional roles I've held in both the consulting and transportation industries.
I believe each day is an opportunity to drive further toward my goals and aspirations. I've been blessed to do that as part of some very dynamic teams.
