Sailed 11,000 miles in the South Pacific in a 38' sailboat. From this amazing experience, I grew in many ways, both personally and professionally. As a leader, life was about building trust and relationships not only with my family, but other sailing colleagues. Our network was one that required collaboration, preparation and integrity. Planning for the next crossing, constantly learning in a fast-paced environment and seeking innovative solutions to address the changing elements was a way of life. These experiences will continue shape how I develop and grow in my personal and professional pursuits.
