Q. What’s a defining moment in your life that shaped who you are today?

Q. If you could travel anywhere in the world tomorrow, where would you go and why?
A. At the top of my list would be a nature or history inspired trip to Botswana for a safari, or Peru to see Machu Picchu
Q. What’s a hobby you could talk about for hours?
A. Cycling. What’s your FTP?
Q. If you could have a completely different career for a year, just for fun, what would it be?
A. A Ski Patrol at Telluride.
Q. What’s a small, everyday thing that brings you a lot of joy?
A. Anything outside, running, biking, swimming, skiing, doing yard work.
Q. What’s a quote from a book, movie, or song that you live by?
A. “I have no special talent. I am only passionately curious.” – Albert Einstein
Q. What’s a piece of pop culture nostalgia that instantly brings you back to childhood?

Q. If you had to watch only one movie or TV series for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Q. If you could open a restaurant or café, what would its theme or specialty be?

Q. What’s one thing you love about working at Sunlight Solutions?
A. Sunlight has a culture that pays no respect to corporate norms. Everyone in the organization is encouraged to do their best work in the best way possible, regardless of how things have been done in the past.
Q. What’s one piece of career advice that has really stuck with you?
A. “You must own and drive your career path”. Don’t fall into the trap thinking that your company, boss, or mentor will lead and drive career advancement. I learned early on that only you can do this. If you need a new skill, go learn it. If you want a new experience, go find it. Don’t wait for someone to give it to you. If you do, it may never happen.
Q. What motivates you to do your best work every day?
A. I love being part of a team that accomplishes things that have never been done before. Sunlight is no longer a startup, but we maintain that mindset and drive to approach challenges from a different angle.
