Personally, being outdoors in the mountains is my happy place, but my kids are the thing that always brings a smile to my face. Professionally, I love to find the truth that is hiding beneath the emotionally charged reports from employees, and to bring a level head and impartial view to all investigations. It is the most gratifying feeling to make employees feel heard and also minimize the risk felt by companies that have complaints lodged against them.
