The opportunity to work with many great people in a variety of industries, and help them transition their companies from good  to great.

Open, collaborative. Driven to find the best solution. I enjoy discussing problems and working with others to develop solutions to problems.

Beyond the Boardroom

Deserted island wish list:

Give me Kauai, family and good friends, good books, good wine and a little suntan lotion and I’ll be fine for quite awhile.

What do you do to relax when you’re not at working?

Hiking, skiing, spending time with my wife, reading. I’m a science fiction fan, a great fantasy world that’s the opposite of my 9-5 life.

Favorite vacation:

Hanalei Bay on Kauai
