(Maersk International Shipping Education) certification from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Outside of work, life is anchored by a close-knit family - married with two sons who continue to inspire pride and purpose. A lifelong hockey enthusiast, drawn to the sport’s grit, strategy, and camaraderie, much like the values that guide a career in transportation and leadership.
