What do you love most about EOMs?
How they are endless teachers. Every conversation brings a new lesson, and the learning never stops. People interact with thousands of businesses every day, often without thinking about how they came to be—EOMs give you the chance to hear the stories behind them.

What was your first job?
For a few summers, as well as some weekends in the fall and winter, I worked on a commercial lobster boat. My job was to rebait the traps as they were hauled in, filling empty bait bags and getting them ready to go back overboard.

Favorite subject in school / high school?
Biology. I’ve always been fascinated by the living world: how organisms work, how everything is interconnected, and how even the smallest processes can have an impact on the larger system.

If you could possess one super-human power, what would it be?
The ability to breathe underwater indefinitely. I’ve always loved the ocean and would use this ability to explore its depths, discover places few people have ever seen, and experience marine life up close without being limited by time or equipment.
