What's the most important lesson you've learned in the last year?

Don’t take anything for granted and live in the moment. In our industry, we spend so much time planning for the future and thinking ahead. It can be challenging for us to enjoy the moment we’re in and celebrating the wins when they come.

What could you give a 40-minute presentation on with absolutely no preparation?

Mountain biking. I could bore you with more details than you ever wanted to know about wheel sizes, frame materials, brake pad compounds, and trail map apps. It’s a sport I picked up in college and have been obsessed with ever since.

What hobby would you get into if time and money weren’t an issue?

Car racing. I’ve always been passionate about exotic cars like Porsches and Ferraris. I mean, have you watched Ford v Ferrari? Greatest movie of all time!
