One of my goals for this year is to: work smarter. I truly want  today’s IT driven world. I believe, maybe, maybe not, that it should allow me to work less. And, yes, like everyone else, would like a little more work-life balance.


How do you plan to help elevate the profession? Continue to learn, grow my base knowledge, and then transfer that knowl- edge through teaching at the VMS at Oglebay.

Where do you see new growth opportunities in the pro- fession? Tough question. Venues need to certainly be develop- ing their talent from within their organizations and committing the necessary time and resources to send their employees outside the organization for continuing education programs. That is what keeps your employees happy.


How do you stay current with industry trends and devel- opments? I try to read a lot. Generally, our industry trade maga- zines are top of the list. Facility Manager has been great since R.V. Baugus came back, but the other trade magazines are good as well. I also like to read leadership books which give you new and inter- esting ideas on how to address your people’s issues and the many challenges of work these days,


Who are three people you’d invite to a dinner party and why? Are you kidding? Donald Trump would be number one. It   number 2.
