What is one of your favorite hobbies outside of work?

Tell me about one of the biggest career challenges you’ve faced and how you overcame it.

I would say it was jumping into the world of Engineering and not knowing anything about that world when I first started here. In this position, the candidates and clients I work with are all engineers, and I wanted to be fluent in their industry to provide the best possible help.

I overcame this by having as many conversations as possible with engineers to truly understand what their day-to-day looks like, what common Engineering acronyms and terms mean, and the challenges they generally face. After a while, it all became second nature to me.

What is one of your favorite memories of your time so far at Brightwing?

I think it was the first holiday party I got to attend. I’d been here for a few months at this point and had a good grasp on the environment here, but this really cemented my view of Brightwing’s culture—what we are all about and what the leadership is all about.

What motivates you?

Success and helping people. I love solving people’s problems on both sides of the staffing equation—finding the perfect match for clients and helping candidates discover a great new opportunity to start the next chapter of their lives.

If you could go anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Alaska. I’d love to rent an RV and drive out there with my wife and son for three months. We’d go fishing, sightseeing—I’ve just always wanted to go there.
