I didn’t set out to build a philosophy about leadership and performance.

I just loved to play.

As a kid, I played every sport I could. I was curious. Competitive. Hungry to see what would happen if I tried. That curiosity eventually carried me to collegiate All-American honors in lacrosse and, years later, into the Franklin & Marshall College Athletic Hall of Fame. But what shaped me far more than awards were the coaches and teachers who believed in me — especially my father, a lifelong educator and coach, who taught me that learning never ends and that people perform at their best when they feel seen, prepared, and trusted.
