Favorite client story:

During a CRM build for a large tech company many years ago, we were required to review the solution’s profanity filter / list.  It made for a rather colorful afternoon of collaboration to say the least, ending with our client noting: “This has been my favorite part of the build to date.”

I make a great pizza which my wife and daughter request weekly

Important life lesson:

Everyone faces adversity, whether visible or not.  Compassion enables perspective.
