I am in my happy place when…

I’m in or on the water – swimming, paddling, boating, or just toes in the sand.

I’m surrounded by trees – hiking, camping, reading a book in a hammock.

I feel the sun warming my skin.

I support and witness people envision and build something bigger and bolder than they’ve ever dreamed.
