Commentary:

Coach Don Emry and Coach Daryl Everett instilled in each of their athletes a sense of community and teamwork. Each person was committed to the other to achieve a common goal. While these lessons were learned on the field or in the gym, they are invaluable as I approach each day in my personal life or in my business. A person is most effective when surrounded by people with common goals and a commitment to achieve those goals.

Vocationally, I serve as General Counsel for Common Sense Investment Managment. I enjoy running with my family and friends. I’ve run a marathon, many Hood to Coast relays, and numerous half marathons.
