What is your business philosophy?
Problems are merely opportunities to stop and study a situation, gain perspective, adapt, overcome and ultimately prevail.
Why did you choose this field / career path?
I always enjoyed math, business, and most of all, interacting with people. Accounting is a great combination of math and business. The opportunity I have been given at FIA allows me to work with an amazing team in an industry that continues to grow like the forests we help manage.
What is one of the best lessons you’ve learned during your career?
Your biggest limitation is often knowledge of yourself.
