Be more willing to step out of your comfort zone.

Music. I enjoy collecting and listening to live music.

I take advantage of the gym at work for exercise. Once I am at home, I do my best to disconnect from the workday and focus my energy on enjoying time with my wife and three daughters.

What one thing in your professional life would you like a do-over on?

If I had to choose, I would say declining an expat opportunity in Puerto Rico. It would have been a very interesting personal and professional experience. •
