Affiliations

  • Outside of work, I enjoy staying active through surfing, playing soccer, and regularly running 5Ks. About ten years ago, I competed as a semi-professional boxer in Mississippi, which taught me discipline and mental toughness. I maintain a healthy lifestyle—I don’t drink or smoke—and I make it a priority to stay physically and mentally fit. These habits keep me focused, energized, and ready to take on challenges both on and off the job
