How would you describe your personal sense of style?
I actually had to Google this question! Google says I’m somewhere between “Corporate Powerhouse” and “Prepster”. My favourite places to shop are Forman's Menswear, Nordstrom, Harry Rosen, Hugo Boss, and Brinkhaus.
.
What is your favourite, unstylish outfit?
My favourite, but worst ootd, is board shorts with a tank top and swim loafers.
.
What three things do you need to make it through the day?
I have a three-part plan for attacking my day:
1. Start each day with a plan
2. Fulfill the plan without any excuses
3. When you've completed your plan, remind yourself why you did it in the first place
.
When you aren’t working what does your ideal day look like?
I like to wake up early and hit the gym hard. I’ll sneak a quick peek at my emails to make sure there is nothing urgent that needs my attention at the store. If my kids aren’t in school, I like to find an activity for us all to do during the day. But if they are in school, I’ll catch up on house projects and maybe even find a hockey game to join. I love to cook. I really enjoy making dinner for my family and having a nice glass of wine.

What words do you live your life by?
My mantra is: don’t let today be the day that bad habits are created.
What are your three tips for living the best life possible?
My three tips are to be healthy, happy, and successful. If I give myself attention in those specific categories (and in that order) everything else seems to fall into place. If you don’t have your health, it’s hard to focus on anything else. If you are in a positive happy environment, you can generally overcome any daily issues that arise. Personal success whether it be family, financial, or employment is needed to keep me driven and ambitious.
