Core Values:

Do the right thing, even when it’s hard: Never take a shortcut, because it’s more convenient for you. Take the long road when it’s best for the client, the team, or the company. Act with integrity, especially when no one is looking. Do whatever it takes to turnaround a bad situation.

Figure it out and get it done: Ideas deserve praise, execution is worthy of worship. Exhaust all resources. Identify. Research.

Be a goal digger: Achieve the extraordinary. Bring your A-game. Exceed expectations.

Focus on the good of the whole: It’s not about who is right; it’s about what is right. Community (teamwork + clients) before self. Teamwork makes all of our dreams work.

Own the outcome, no excuses: If you want something, be proactive and go after it. Ask “How do I get there?” instead of complaining about being there. Foster a culture of candor and accountability.

ABC, Always Be Curious: Have a thirst for learning. Practice a growth mindset. Continuously explore new and better ways.
