What do you enjoy most about being in your industry?
I think education is the most foundational part of our society. We have all hopefully had the privilege to participate in it, either as a parent, a student, or by benefiting from our education system.
When folks go on to do really critical tasks, whether it be in the trades, or as doctors or lawyers, it's really wonderful to be a part of building a thriving, joyful, and healthy society for the long game.
