TIPS & TRICKS: On my board journey I learned to make sure I trust the founders and ceo of any board you are planning to serve. Also, it's important to find a way to gauge that they will trust you and your guidance.

MOTIVATION: My career path has been driven by my childhood desire to be on the boards of companies, although I did not know what it was called at the time. I enjoyed building things and technology, which lead me to engineering. I further enjoyed the business side of technology which lead me to the law. I have leveraged what I learned from both disciplines in my board service.
