What is your favorite motivational quote and who was it by? My favorite quote is “There’s a million things I haven’t done, but just you wait,” from Lin-Manuel Miranda’s musical “Hamilton.”
What is the best advice you have received, and who was it from? The best advice I have received was from a yoga instructor who advised me to read “Just Breathe” and its lessons have added energy and focus to my day.
What recent project or transaction are you most proud of? I recently represented a local developer in connection with construction financing for the development of a vacant warehouse into a food hall in my hometown. I am most proud of it because I know that the transformation of the property will benefit small business owners and the city’s constituents.
