First Thing I Do When I Start My Day: The first thing I do when I start my day is skim the headlines to catch up on the overnight news. Then I brush my teeth, kiss my wife and kids and grab a cup of coffee as I gear up for a new day. It’s a mix of staying informed, staying grounded and starting my day with gratitude — all essentials for me.
What Motivates Me: My family and my colleagues are my greatest sources of motivation. My family grounds me — they remind me of what truly matters and inspire me to lead with integrity, purpose and heart. Everything I do, I do with them in mind. At the same time, my colleagues drive me to bring my best every day.
If I Could Have Any Other Job: I always wanted to be an actor. There’s something incredibly powerful about storytelling and the ability to step into someone else’s shoes to move, inspire or challenge an audience.
