What/who inspires you at work? What/who inspires you outside the office? 

What inspires me at work is the energy I receive from spending time in my travels with small groups of Mediacom Employees.  I am also inspired by the challenges that our leader puts forth as “can do” vs. “defeatist”.  Outside of work I am inspired by the youth in my family especially when we are out enjoying the wonders of nature together.
