What mentoring means to me

  • Mentoring to me is helping people move forward in their career path. The amount of knowledge and experience obtained over 25 year period should be shared.
  • Everyone has a different learning level and desire to learn. Security is fundamental however knowing what we secure and why we secure it is important.
  • I enjoy seeing people move forward in their career path, learning and growing. Often the student becomes the teacher.
