How have you achieved success?


Surrounding myself with good friends that have great character made me want to do more and be more. Never surround yourself with people with no goals in life. I also work alongside some industry leading professionals who inspire me to be a better version of myself. 


What obstacles have you overcome in the process?


Finding the confidence I need to be successful is probably one of the hardest obstacles I’ve had to overcome in my life. We all have that voice in our head that tells you all the negative things that could happen, but we need to listen to the voice that tells you all the great things that can happen instead and make them a reality. 


What drives you to succeed?


Fear for me, the fear I will let my family down drives me to be the best I can be each day. I worked for several CRA companies early on in my career which provided me with a lot of industry knowledge. I realized that to be successful I always needed to be learning and expanding my professional networks. I am a lifelong learner and I am always looking to improve. 


How has your definition of success changed over the years? 


I think you need big goals to succeed but you need a solid roadmap on how to get there. Every year your definition of success will change with your goals but as you grown and accomplish each milestone your goals will continue to grow. Take the time to reassess your path when you need to and also don’t be scared to alter your goals either. 


What has success meant to you? 


It is up to you to define success for yourself, and no one can do it for you. Being successful could mean making a positive impact on the world. It can also mean professional advancement.


Having the ability to do what you love could mean a lot. In a nutshell, it could mean being able to provide the best possible upbringing for your children.


There’s no right or wrong answer. There is no one approach that works for everyone.


Do you have advice for others on how to be successful?


My best advice would be to always remain organized. Always have a clear picture of where you want to be in the next five years and then do your best to plan your goals accordingly. And secondly, be open and honest with your clients. Communication is fundamental to success and transparency cultivates a sense of trust.

Washington’s Fair Chance Act has shaped how employers handle criminal history during the hiring process. Now, with new changes on the horizon, it is more important than ever for HR teams, hiring managers, and business owners to understand their responsibilities. These updates introduce stricter rules around job ads, application procedures, and how criminal records can be used in hiring decisions. Understanding the Current Washington Fair Chance Act The Fair Chance Act (FCA), enacted in 2018, was designed to give individuals with criminal records a better opportunity to compete for jobs. Often referred to as a “ban-the-box” law, it restricts when and how employers can ask about or consider an applicant’s criminal history. Under the current law, most public and private employers in Washington are prohibited from: Asking about arrests or convictions on initial job applications Automatically disqualifying candidates based solely on criminal records Advertising jobs in a way that discourages people with records from applying The goal is to ensure that applicants are first evaluated based on their qualifications rather than past offenses.
