The most rewarding part of my job is working with great people. We have a fantastic, professional staff and the most dedicated members of any trade association.

My favorite way of communicating with people is in-person communication. Maybe I’m old fashioned but I prefer interacting in person over every other means of communicating.

I used to play the cello in junior high and early high school but I wouldn’t remember the first thing about playing it today.

The most rewarding part of my job is working with great staff and dedicated and passionate members…and bringing my dog Levon to the office to make everyone’s day.

The soundtrack to my life would include all Little Dragon songs, for every occasion. You may never have heard of them, but trust me, they are the best.

I can cook a mean cornbread and honey butter. The trick is to use real buttermilk and good quality butter and corn grits

Never underestimate the value of art.

My favorite movie is Fellini’s Satyrocin

I used to be a singer in a rock band in high school, and my bandmate’s father always told us how good we sounded when we practiced in his basement. He was wrong.
 
Somebody should invent a way to apply sunscreen to a persons’ back without assistance from others.
 
A good committee is one that sticks to the agenda, and only meets when the members are given a task on the way out.

The best thing about this industry is that it provides stable careers. Many CEOs of the largest companies started out as caretakers or maintenance or leasing agents; there is a life-long career path in multi-family housing with plenty of room for advancement.

My favorite books is Tuesday's with Morrie by Mitch Albom.

Not that I'd waste company time, but a big time-waster for me is showing the entire staff cute videos of my son, Grant.

The perfect weekend includes a good cup of coffee (or maybe a Latte) in the morning, followed by a walk with my dog Finnegan in the afternoon and a delicious home-cooked meal in the evening. Then off to bed by 10 pm! (11 if I’m feeling sassy)
 
I think it’s important for people to be kind to one another and approach everything with an attitude of gratitude.
 
If I could change one thing about my job it would be that I would have a magical tool to help me remember the name of every person I meet, because every person (and their name) is important and special!

Never underestimate the value of having a plan which is flexible. Too often plans become rigid and will not allow adjustment to new developments or ideas.
 
The best present I ever got was when I was a kid and received my first fishing pole.
 
When I have a chance, I like to watch The Mandalorian

Personal items on my desk include a 1 cm tall cactus.

My favorite season is the fall, because Halloween rules.

The trick to staying on top of things is being organized and adaptable.

The perfect weekend includes tennis in the morning, lake in the afternoon.

Personal items on my desk include a jiggling Mutley!

My favorite season is winter, because it's nine months long.

In the morning, I always stop at Starbuck's for coffee.

A big time saver for me is driving everywhere as fast as I can!

I used to be (keywords) one of the best swimmers in the Midwest.

The dream vacation I've yet to take is visiting London, England.

When I pick where we're eating we go to Popeye's.

The perfect weekend includes watching both of my sons playing ice hockey.

When I pick where we’re eating, we go to any Asian themed (preferably with Sushi)!

Cheap thrills for me include having a night to myself without any kid’s sports or events.
