  • Q. What's your favorite quote or mantra? And why?
  • A: My favorite quote is “when you want to succeed, as bad as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.” – Eric Thomas. This powerful statement demonstrates the laser-like focus needed to achieve one’s goal.
  • Q: What has been the most rewarding experience professionally for you to date?
  • A: I have two that are equally special to me. The first is that as a life-long entrepreneur, I am now in a role where I can regularly work with great entrepreneurs, in an industry that is helping all of humankind. Secondly, we have created an environment at Browne Consulting where our team has opportunities to experience new challenges and expand their skill set. Seeing our team continue to grow professionally has been extremely rewarding.
  • Q: What attribute would you rank as number one for professional success?
  • A: Perseverance. The ability to continue in the face of difficulty is critical for so many roles. When persistence and passion mix, then it will make you unstoppable.
