PRESIDENT & FOUNDING PARTNER

“Life has its peaks and valleys. The final moments in getting up to the peak are not easy, nor is it easy coming up out of the valley. But when you’re riding downhill, WOW, life is good! The only way that we truly know the great feeling of “riding downhill,” is having felt the struggle climbing up. Embrace both feelings. You are going in the right direction!”

“Those days when we feel stuck and can’t seem to get out of our own way, reach out. Offer to help someone, give your time and attention to something other than what you are working on. Nothing can replace the positive impact of genuine human connections.”

“Over the years, you’re going to experience many ups and downs.  Surrounding yourself with people that care for each other always seems to be a winning formula to get through the lows and celebrate the highs.”

ENGAGEMENT MANAGER

“Change is constant. Life’s lessons aren’t always easy, but you shall endure! Strive to do work that is worthwhile and be diligent, so you’ll have more good days than bad. Bitterness drains the soul.  Be quick to make amends for things that don’t really matter, especially with loved ones.   Always try to be kind.  You don’t know what others are going through and people will remember you more for the way you made them feel above anything else.  When life gets hard, step back, close your eyes, take a deep breath, and smile.  You’ll feel better!”

“You’ll never know what you’re fully capable of until you put yourself out there and try. Don’t be afraid to fail. Success is good but failure is better— learning the lessons of failure is where growth occurs. Remember to celebrate every single one of your wins, big or small, and don’t give up until you’ve reached the top.”
