What's your favorite book? Why?
The Book of Five Rings (Go Rin No Sho) by Miyamoto Musashi. Though it is a treatise on swordsmanship written in the Middle Ages, The Book of Five Rings has found a new audience in the modern era. Much like Sun Tzu’s Art of War, translations of Musashi’s work have been applied to topics of general achievement and inspiration. For myself, The Book of Five Rings is a cornerstone piece which has fueled my passion for East Asian history.
Who is one person (could be more)--besides your parents, they are easy candidates--that you would like to express your gratitude to?
Mrs. K is the mother of my best and oldest friend, and when I found myself without a parental figure to look up to, she stepped up and became a rock I could lean on. She has continued to support me into my adulthood, and I cannot imagine what my life would have been like without her in it.
Who or what are you always happy to see? Why?
I love the way that trees look after it rains. The color of the leaves always seems more vibrant when the rains clear. Whenever I have been away for any duration of time from the Pacific Northwest, it is that vibrancy which has told me that I am home.

What one piece of advice have you received that has drastically changed your outlook on life?
Assigning Responsibility/Blame is only important when it helps make something better going forward. Generally, the only person you can control is yourself. Ergo, blame is usually only useful when you accept it yourself, and then reflect on how you can do better next time.
Who is one person (could be more)--besides your parents, they are easy candidates--that you would like to express your gratitude to?
My High School AP English teacher. Instead of grading students against a global criteria, she graded each student where she knew they could be. She forced me out of my comfort zone and brought my reading comprehension and my writing skills to a much higher level.
Who or what are you always happy to see? Why?
Cats. Because they are cats.

What one piece of advice have you
received that has drastically changed your outlook on life?
Everyone's got their own things
going on in their lives. The reason someone is yelling or
frustrated likely isn't something you did, but something else in
their life and you are the person they are dumping the frustration
on. Don't take it personally.
Who
is one person (could be more)--besides your parents, they are easy
candidates--that you would like to express your gratitude to?
Hard
to say - don't have anyone specific - but I do have a group of
friends that have been with me for 20 years and support me in the
good and bad times.
What is a quote you have burned
in your mind, that you'll always remember? Why?
No matter where you go - there you
are. Buckaroo Bonsai. Yep, it's a movie but always
struck me as funny and sort of expressed a lot about my life.

Who is one person (could be
more)--besides your parents, they are easy candidates--that you would
like to express your gratitude to?
Galileo Galilei. Pushing back
against the established order and furthering human understanding for
Physics/Astronomy/Scientific Method is a huge step for us. Also
would thank Marie Curie for her work in Radiation and overturning
established ideas in chemistry and physics.
What is a quote you have burned
in your mind that you'll always remember? Why?
My grandfather told me once that no
one is going to solve my problems but me. It always sticks with
me and I look to it often internally, interpreting it a bit
differently sometimes but holding true to it none the less.
Why do you choose to work at
HawkSoft?
Having been a client of Hawksoft for
many, many years as an agent, an opportunity finally arrived to work
for the company that I knew truly had the best customer service in
the industry. Everyone at Hawksoft is amazing and each day I am
happy with my decision to come aboard.
