My approach to quality is summarised in a quote from Antarctic explorer Roald Amundsen, "Victory awaits him who has everything in order — luck, people call it. Defeat is certain for him who has neglected to take the necessary precautions in time; this is called bad luck.”
I take quality and patient safety very seriously, but that doesn’t mean I take myself so seriously. I relocated from the US in 2009 for the outdoor lifestyle and now call New Zealand my home. When I’m not at work, I like hiking with my wife, gardening and traveling.
