I believe there is a right way to fail and a wrong way to fail.

I believe there is a right way to fail and a wrong way to fail.

Failure is just part of life; it happens to everyone. Yet, it doesn't have to be crippling if you don't let it.

If you can look at your failure and answer yes to the questions, "Did I give it my absolute best effort?" and "Have I learned something valuable?" then you have failed in the right way. By these standards, I've failed many times in my career. But every failure has made me stronger and wiser. Inevitably, success has always followed.

I grew up in a household where the FryDaddy was always bubbling, and butter and salt were never in short supply. I've never been one to choose the healthy option over the non-healthy option if the healthy option was lacking in taste. I believe a little bad is good for you from time to time. When it comes to maintaining a healthy soul, nothing beats traveling.

I am inspired by those who dedicate their lives to bringing about positive social change throughout the world.

I run or hike three to four times per week and believe that an "everything in moderation" approach to dieting is the best way to keep your mind and body healthy and your taste buds happy.
