The Owners' Manual | Issue 24 | Spring 2022

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be? I would love to learn how to fly a plane. It has always been an interest of mine. If you won the lottery, what’s your splurge? I would make sure my family was more than comfortable and then build a world class indoor athletic facility that would rival anything in the country. Who’s your celebrity look alike? When I was younger my wife’s friends always said I resembled Robert Downey Jr. but I don’t see it. Who inspires you and why? My mother does. She successfully raised me and my two siblings on her own while putting herself through nursing school without ever complaining. She is still doing amazing things that continue to inspire me today.

What’s the hardest thing you’ve ever done? Coming back from a major concussion from a hit in a hockey game during college. It was hard to continue to rest when I felt like my body was ready to go. It was hard to understand that even though my body felt great, my brain was still repairing itself. What do you miss most about being a kid? Having few responsibilities most of the time and none at all in the summer. Do you have a TV binge/Movie/Book/ Music worth recommending? I’m a big fan of history and the early medieval era so I would recommend Game of Thrones, Vikings, and The Last Kingdom. They are all great books and each have their own TV series worth taking the time to watch. I am a big astronomy nerd and read up on every update given on the James Webb Telescope. I really enjoy to planet and stargaze whenever possible. I am currently looking to purchase a new and improved telescope that will help me with celestial navigation. What is something you learned in the last week? Or since joining BL? I would have to say I’ve learned a new level of teamwork since joining BL. I’ve worked in teams at other companies in the past, but not as in depth as you need to here. The way we tackle deadlines together to make sure everything is delivered accurately and on time is very impressive. What is the nerdiest thing you do in your spare time?

Have you ever had something happen to you that you thought was bad but turned out to be good? Yes. I left a job that I was not happy at (felt like I wasted 2 years of my life) and a year later I ended up here at BL where I am using many of the skills I learned there. The Warwick office is much closer to where I live, and my everyday work life has been better than anything else I’ve experienced.
