What makes me tick
I absolutely love problem solving, no matter how big or small. Problem solving is what keeps me up at night and keeps me motivated. They really should change CEO to CPO for Chief Problem Solver.
My life outside Nix
The one thing I love more than problem solving is sailing. I once was a professional sailing coach and sailed in the Canadian University championship. Now I race my J24 boat with some other members of the Nix team. My ultimate goal is to eventually sail across the ocean.
I am also a nerd for alternative energy and environmentalism.
Important Fact
I have once had the great honor of sharing a plate of chicken wings at a party with Al Gore.
Color of choice
My favorite color is #112358, I call it “Fibonacci Blue.”
