LEADERSHIP INFLUENCES

Ted Lasso
Ted Lasso is an uncommon leader. With the mantra of "Believe" (in yourself, the team, the organization), he helps people find the best in themselves. His strange-but-apt one-liners help him teach complex ideas in a simple, relatable way. He always has a sense of optimism, resilience, dedication, and courage and doesn't "dare settle for fine."

Kermit the Frog
There are many things we can learn from Kermit the Frog. Have a creative vision but limit ego. Recognize the unique talents of those around you. Attract weirdos. Manage chaos. Show kindness. Be sincere.

Adam McKay
Filmmaker Adam McKay has a storytelling style of "show not tell." With movies and shows like "The Big Short," "Vice," and "Winning Times," he has a way of making otherwise boring topics fun and relatable to all people. His use of visual examples and humor to explain technical concepts makes unique stories accessible to everyday people.

Travel
I've been inside the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt, led a humanitarian aid group in India, backpacked through Central America, and produced a live video in Australia. I've been to over two-thirds of the US and I hope to never stop exploring.

Outdoors
Growing up in Oregon gave me the chance to be close to all kinds of outdoor activities. Now I enjoy camping, fishing, hiking, golf, and so much more wherever I can, wherever I am.

Data-driven Competition & Investing
I like combining my brain's numbers-driven analytical side with my competitive personality. I enjoy sports/fantasy football/daily fantasy (DFS), trading stock options, investing in real estate, and occasionally dabbling in cryptocurrencies.
