What advice would you give your 22-year-old self?
Personally, see as much of the world as you can. Professionally, don’t be afraid to raise your hand and ask for responsibilities that are outside of your day-to-day role.

Second Beach in Middletown.

How do you keep a work-life balance?
Find something outside of work you’re passionate about and make time for it. Getting home to my wife and 4-month-old son provides extra incentive to maintain a healthy balance.
