Stepping into the role of Chief Operating Officer at QBI, I've taken on a journey that's far from ordinary. It's a gig that asks for more than just keeping the gears turning smoothly. It’s about infusing every bit of our work with a bit of magic – the kind that comes from a mix of top-notch education, a history of athletic discipline, and a steadfast belief that the sky’s the limit.
My playbook is drawn from days spent on the gridiron under the watchful eye of the legendary Pete Carroll at Southern Cal. Those days did more than just teach me the rules of the game; they instilled in me a sense of perseverance, the value of teamwork, and a discipline that’s ironclad. It's this foundation that helps me steer the ship at QBI, ensuring we’re not just keeping pace but setting the speed for others to follow.
But what’s a COO to do? It’s all about juggling the big stuff – making sure our team's rowing in the same direction, ensuring our strategies are not just plans but actions, and nurturing a workplace where everyone’s keen to bring their A-game. It’s a chapter in my life that's peppered with moments of transformation, from my early days of facing challenges head on to producing films and diving deep into the world of real estate development.
Education played a big part in expanding my horizons, teaching me the ropes of leadership and the essence of making things happen. This, combined with the discipline and teamwork learned on the field, shapes how I approach our operations at QBI. Every decision, every strategy, comes with a dose of 'what if' and 'why not,' pushing us to explore beyond the usual.
Innovation isn't just a buzzword for us; it's a way of life. My stint in entertainment and real estate taught me the power of a vision – seeing not just what's in front of us but what could be. It's this mindset that I bring to the table at QBI, turning routine operations into opportunities for innovation and growth.
But it’s more than just keeping the wheels turning. It's about building a team that's ready to leap into the future, armed with resilience, creativity, and a shared goal. It’s about being a mentor, drawing from my own experiences to guide and inspire.
My role at QBI is a blend of continuous improvement, strategic innovation, and a sprinkle of athletic discipline and teamwork. It’s about moving forward with a clear mission, guided by excellence, and the firm belief that indeed, anything is possible.
So, what’s my contribution to QBI? It's a unique mix of visionary leadership, a knack for innovation, and a foundation built on discipline and teamwork. It's about pushing boundaries, inspired by the belief that we’re not just in the business of simplifying homeownership but transforming how it’s done.
