Where do you get your best thinking done?

Anywhere I am alone. Hikes in the woods tend to produce the more profound and deeper thoughts and ideas.

Nobody cares how much you know until they know how much you care. “

—President Theodore Roosevelt

Favorite quote?

What are you most passionate about?

Anything that advances a child’s quality of life. I work with a group in Louisville called Learning for Life. Twice a year, we provide a weeklong day camp for children with disadvantages or disabilities. The joy I get is knowing that for that one day a year, these kids came out to camp and they are just like all other kids. They’re not special or different—thespecial or different—they’re just kids.

What’s the big idea you will share with TED@UPS?

When disaster strikes, money isn’t always the answer. I will explain why businesses should use their most powerful resource: their people.
