What quote sums up your personal motto? Be yourself – so tomorrow you don’t have to remember who you pretended to be yesterday. Gov. Christie (He's my former boss and he said this at every town hall we ever did!)

Tell us about your proudest achievement. Working at the Sandy Recovery Division to help the people of my (adopted) home state of New Jersey recover from Hurricane Sandy.

OUR VALUES

Serve Others | Tell us about an amazing customer service experience you’ve had in your life. Meeting a Hurricane Sandy survivor whose home and possessions were destroyed – she cried and I offered to assist in the recovery and rebuilding process. Two years later, I stood with her in a new house for her "Welcome Home" celebration.

Have Fun | Tell us about the most fun you’ve had in the past year. Quitting my job in New Jersey, boarding a flight to Hawaii, back to New York, then road tripping to Colorado – all in 10 days!
