Everyone has a story to tell. Here’s ours:

Og Mandino: Natick, MA born, a military officer; self-help books saved him from contemplated suicide and alcoholism; he became a successful salesman and later a successful author, writing The Greatest Salesman in the World among other books.

Relationship building and helping companies and professionals achieve their goals is my life's work and building LABUR has allowed me to continue to fulfill this passion.

Journaling, if it was such a thing. I am a voracious reader and make a habit of writing my daily, weekly, monthly, annual, and lifelong goals down. My life is dedicated to being the best person I can be, personally and professionally.

I introduced my kids to The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl a few years ago. Her corner of the Marvel Universe is boundlessly optimistic, funny, and creative. Those aspects are pretty appealing to me these days. Although I'd also be happy to have a Pokémon friend. Snubbull, I choose you!

The variety of clients and their problems is hard to beat. I get to see a wide range of challenges, work to solve them, and adapt and evolve my thinking. As a curious person who likes people and wants to see them thrive, business and technology consulting is a hand-in-glove fit for me.

Speaking additional languages. The ability to communicate with others is so important to everything we do, and to be able to do that with the nuances that fluency in a language brings allows for an even greater exchange of ideas and for relationships to flourish.

Having scaled and led client-facing growth teams, building relationships centered in trust and mutual value creation and enabling teams to do their best work so that both individuals and organizations achieve success is what really gets me excited. Focusing on these aspects of my work with a group as caring, agile, and driven as LABUR is truly compelling.

I'm a people-person and the work I do is a great opportunity to always be meeting new people.

At work the great sense of building something together that is tangible and makes the struggles worthwhile. Taking time to walk my dog and enjoy my neighborhood and the other families who are walking their dogs. Listening to music with my sons.

I've always been thankful for the unique opportunities I've had to help the leaders of so many great companies with their most important business and technology decisions and plans. As the pace of change in the world has accelerated, things have only gotten more interesting.

As a strategic advisor, I recognize that my own success depends 100% on the success of my clients. There's nothing more satisfying than the feeling I've helped to bring clarity, consensus, direction, momentum, and/or a positive impact to the people and companies I'm so fortunate to work with each day.

Connecting with business and technology leadership, and working together to develop innovative and transformational strategies that ultimately deliver unique customer value. Whenever my advisory contributions help to elevate an organization - regardless of its size or stature - it is a source of great personal satisfaction and professional pride.

The technology that is simultaneously powerful, capable, and yet elegant in its transparency for people to use - that's when technology is compelling, valuable, and transformational.

To build my network by creating strong relationships with the people I speak to. Not only am I able to improve upon my communication skills but I am able to learn so much about the IT industry, all while helping people. I'm really enjoying it so far.

I have friends from many different experiences in my life. I have always found it easy to make friends and stay in touch with friends. I believe this natural ability translates well to the relationship management aspect of the work I am doing now.
