Highs and lows

My biggest success was being selected for the Insurance Business America Hall of Fame. While this certainly wasn't a goal in my life, it does validate a life of service to our industry that means a great deal to me.

There is very little I regret in business because I truly enjoy what I do both for my clients and for the industry as a whole through NAHU activities. I'd have to say that my biggest regret has been personal. Normally I'm very focused on taking care of my health, but as I approached the position of NAHU president in July, I had to accept that over time I had gained back the weight I had worked to lose several years earlier. This is not as much vanity as it is about my health, as I firmly believe good health and success go hand in hand both professionally and personally. I'm back on track now to finish my year as NAHU president at a healthy weight once again.
