“To me, the blue jacket represents a champion and what being a champion is all about. The Augusta National Golf Club awards a green jacket to the Masters Champion each year. This is someone who has overcome their doubts, pressures, fears, obstacles, adversaries, and competitors for an entire tournament. The blue jacket is much the same. It is reserved for a special champion who has persevered through many obstacles to perform at the top of our industry.”

As a result, winning the Blue Jacket was more meaningful than any other award I could have won. Winning this award also challenged me to continuing growing and developing in each of these CORE DISCIPLINES, recognizing that each of must strive to become better versions of ourselves; more of the men and women God desired us to be.”
