life moving challenges
Someone once told me I'm a sore winner, and they're right. I rarely take more than a moment to enjoy a success before I'm moving on and looking for the next challenge.
golf play long
I never play golf because it takes too long, and the business connections it produces can be made just as easily over an early breakfast.

I'm strong-willed. Architects are strong-willed. You get the best results with a strong client and a strong architect working together.

A lot of executives act like their time is worth more than anyone else's. But I always respect an employee who guards his or her time, even from me.

School boards are, for the most part ,made up of political wannabes who see a board seat as a stepping stone for political office, or well-meaning parents who represent an ethnic group or geography, or have some other narrow interests. Few people on them understand what governance is about.
