“Ability is what you’re capable of doing.  Motivation determines what you do.  Attitude determines how well you do it.” - Lou Holtz

Why I love TU: 
I work at Tripp Umbach because I love the people I work with.  TU is truly a “family” company and it shows every time I walk into the office.

Who I admire: 
“I admire my father the most because of his career as a Lutheran minister.  He preaches God’s word on Sunday and then sets the example through his actions which requires a lot of personal sacrifice and discipline.”

You can typically find me at a Pittsburgh sporting event, attending a concert at the Post-Gazette Pavilion or Heinz Hall, or relaxing with my family.
