What is the most important lesson you’ve learned over your career?
The most important lesson I’ve learned is that you can’t do it alone. The right team—with collective buy-in, trust, and cohesive energy—can accomplish extraordinary things. Strategy matters, but ultimately, the personalities and culture within an organization can make or break its success.
What nonprofit do you have a heart for and how do you support it?
United Way of St Johns and Putnam Counties, but also many of our partner agencies which we support through grant funding
What’s your favorite way to get involved in the community?
Helping the ALICE community with emergency assistance is one of the most rewarding things I do as CEO.
