**What inspires or motivates you in your role at HMS/HSDM?**  
It inspires and motivates me to know that each and every day I work side by side with a great group of people who are respectful and hard working.

**In what ways do you feel you contribute to the Harvard community?**  
There are many different faculty members that park in the HMS garage. If I can assist them in anything from parking their cars to fixing a flat tire, I feel that l've made a positive contribution to their day.

**What are you most proud of about your work at HMS/HSDM?**  
I'm proud that I've been at my job for many years and have established a rapport with veteran parkers. They know that they can count on me and my team for anything they may need.

**What unique skills and/or talents do you bring to your job?**  
I can identify each monthly and day Parker to their car. Believe me, this comes in handy when after a long shift at work or school, they come to me with a lost look on their face. They don't remember what spot, what floor, or even sometimes which car they drove in!

**Are there activities outside of your job at Harvard that you feel enrich or inform who you are as an individual at Harvard?**  
I share my life at home with my amazing and beautiful wife who works next door at Brigham and Women's Hospital. I also enjoy my time outside of work detailing my car, watching the NFL, and spending time with my nephews and family.

**What is the significance of the object you brought with you to the photo shoot?**  
I'm embarrassed to say that I wasn't aware of needing to bring an object to the photo shoot - so the photographer decided to use my walkie-talkie, which is part of my uniform, as my "object". The significance of this is acknowledging that no matter where you work or what you do, you are part of a team and a community. In an office or clinic, you might use phones or email to reach out to your peers, but downstairs in the parking garage, we use walkie-talkies.
