 I'm a sucker for great speeches and have been fortunate to have been around some tremendous motivators, both as an athlete and as a business person.

 As anyone that knows me, I talk often about NBA rules and their differences vs. other leagues/levels. It's not uncommon to be watching a game with friends and have them yelling at the tv screen.

For me personally, I've never been a very good climber, but I've always been fascinated by those who do it well. Two jobs ago, I had the opportunity to work with brands like Edelrid and Petzl. I even got to meet world-famous climber, Tommy Caldwell. Having those experiences really expanded my appreciation for the sport. Unfortunately, I'm kind of shut out of the mountains here in Minnesota, and while the occasional opportunity to go bouldering pops up, it's not the same as when I previously lived out West.
