What is the best thing about working at UCLA?
Working in a beautiful environment with intelligent, friendly people who are more concerned about doing the right thing than just adding to the bottom line.

I enjoy all music but particularly progressive rock. Peter Gabriel, U2 and Sting are several of my favorites.

What is your motto?
“Good enough” is not good enough.
