One thing most people don't know about you: This is a hard question to answer because I am pretty much open about everything and often tell people stuff even if they didn’t ask for it! Specifically, I once rode a horse across Cuba.
Favourite Book: I don’t have a favourite book. I read a lot and as widely as possible. Been thinking a lot about Donnella Meadows Thinking in Systems recently.
Favourite Quote: “Everyone Has a Plan Until They Get Punched in the Face” - Mike Tyson
