Outside the office, I also live for opportunities and challenges, whatever guise they come in. Whether trekking in the Himalayas, white-water rafting in Montenegro, skiing in Japan, scuba diving in Egypt, surfing in Australia, paragliding in Africa or simply going to Crossfit; my weakness is not being able to say ‘no’!

Through sport and outdoor adventure, I have been fortunate to have won and lost; to have defied odds; to have made new friends from all cultures; and to have visited unique environments around the world. Above all, I am full of gratitude that it taught me integrity, humility, strength, courage, discipline, perspective, compassion and respect.
