Biggest influences: My mom for giving her life to grow and nurture the core of who I am. My dad for his excitement and unending support for my career and development. Peter Halsall for creating an amazing place to work (Halsall Associates) for my first career.
Most important lesson I’ve learned in business: Emotions cloud rational judgment; stick to the facts and don’t let personalities affect the logic (or a good night’s sleep).
First job: Paperboy with lots of help from dad – he would push the papers and phone books in a wheelbarrow and I’d run them to the houses.
Advice I’d give the younger me: Life is about the moments, not the goals.
Favourite pastime: Spending a quiet Saturday morning with my kids playing Lego in jammies.
I’m currently reading: The BFG by Roald Dahl (with my eight-year-old daughter)
