Which of UMI’s core values resonates the most with you and why?

Innovative: Innovation is about bringing new ideas to the table. It’s about creativity and imagining that things can be different. Innovation requires us to imagine better solutions that meet the ever changing needs of our unique set of clients. Change is inevitable; you can either wait for it to come, or you can bring it!

What’s the most inspiring part of your job?

I’m continually inspired by the opportunities we have to make a real difference in the lives of others. Many of the operators we service , while part of a larger brand, are just small businesses investing in a better future. Working with families and parents who want to leave a legacy for their children is a very cool part of what we do. Being able to play a part in making their dreams a reality inspires all of us to give our best every day.

What is a quote or motto that resonates with you?

“Success is never owned, it is rented, and the rent is due every day.”

Lacing up my running shoes for a long run. Once the run is in the books you will definitely find me relaxing with my amazing wife and kids. We love fire pits, s’mores and smiles!
