Q: What is the best career advice you’ve received?

A:  It came from my father and he said I was really good at organization so I should pursue something where I could use those skills. He told me this when I was about 15 years old. He was so right.

Q: Before working in your current position, what was the most unusual or interesting job you’ve ever had?

A: My wish is to retire in about 6 years with the confidence that I have created a department that is both effective and efficient and that some of my policies and procedures are sound enough to be carried forward by those who follow me.
