Running with the Bulls in Pamplona, Spain as a first-time, solo-traveler might not seem related to my professional career. But, it highlights my approach to challenges I face.Simply put; I'm a champion at "figuring it out". My mission: Run with the bulls, as safely and successfully as possible (and have a little fun while I'm at it) I arrived entirely alone and without a plan. Having just a few hours before the start -- I had to act fast. I tapped into the limited resources around me by learning from locals and other seasoned "runners". I studied the bulls' path to plot an ideal and (safe-ish) course. And, when the time came, despite not having 100% of the answers; I went for it. The result: One of the most memorable experiences of my life. As a professional, I bring the same level of energy, curiosity, and fearlessness to all that I do. I have a proven track-record of success through "figuring it out". No matter the obstacle, I dive in, analyze it, and leverage the strengths of those around me to build a plan and drive results. The Strategic Response team's goal is to ensure a customer-centric approach to RFP's; aligning Herman Miller's strengths with customer needs, and finding value throughout that process. There is no one-size-fits-all approach--and that's just the way our team likes it. We take on the challenge, take some risks, and do what's necessary to deliver the value our customers deserve. Other adventures you'll find me on are; running with my amazing wife, singing worship with my church community, and, doing my best to “figure it out” as a father of twins.
