What are your hopes for the state or community this year?
I am fortunate to be part of an organization that touches many lives and consider it essential that we use this crisis to find solutions that address the many disparities people face in accessing affordable health care. While this has always been CareFirst’s mission, what we’ve seen and learned in the past year has given us a greater understanding of what people face personally when it comes to their health and wellness.
What do you do to unplug in your free time?
As a father of three young children, working at home has provided me the chance to experience moments with my family that I normally would never have enjoyed if I were traveling and spending long days at the office. In the midst of incredible challenge and tragedy during this pandemic, finding time with close family continues to be the silver lining for so many of us. I’ve been thankful for that.
