What Guides My Decision Making: I strive to be a resonant leader and always listen and trust my team advisors’ opinion. I also trust my gut and follow my own intuition. 

Favorite Quote: “Un poquito mas” (Just a little more). — my dad. It reminds me to always give just a little more, try a little harder in whatever it is that you want to accomplish.

Most Important Leadership Quality: Stay humble, stay thirsty and always evolve.

Proudest Moment: When I was a flight surgeon with the Marines, the squadron put my name (and call sign) in one of the F-18 jets for our deployment overseas. 

My Very First Job and What I Learned From It: I was flipping burgers at a local YMCA cafe in Milwaukee. The boss hired me on the spot, gave me an apron and pointed to the kitchen. At that time, I didn’t know much English. I learned what a burger with “the works” means ... No matter who you are or what you do, having a good work ethic and treating people with respect are keys for success.
