Leadership with Humility & Example
"I’ve been here for a long time, and I think there’s a reason I’ve been here for a long time. Like they say, follow the leader - I wouldn’t expect anybody here to do anything I wouldn’t do. I don’t have a problem going out and getting on a truck. I don’t have a problem answering phone calls or just doing whatever it is to help the team. That’s what you want—everybody helping."

Mistakes Are Moments to Learn
"A lot of mistakes can be just taken as is educational moments and that's kind of big in the medical field too. You don't always want to punish somebody when it's a time to educate, learn, and let's get better from it."
