I'm thinking a lot about...
“Horology, specifically timekeeping. It is fascinating how something as small as a mechanical watch can operate. The diligence and engineering are astounding. I want to embody that same eye for detail and accuracy in my own work.”
I'm an RGD Member because...
“It allows me to continue supporting a great cause. More than ever, a strong advocate for our rights. RGD excels at this and keeps us all informed and educated about everything happening in our world.”
The best advice I've ever received is...
“Think about the bigger picture; avoid becoming siloed. Sometimes the best feedback you can get comes from outside, not internal. You never know what you could be missing, as someone else might see for the first time.”
