In his free time, Conrad and his wife enjoy the local shops and restaurants in Old Mandeville as well as the outdoor activities that Mandeville’s natural resources provide. “I find myself drawn to the water. I’ve recently taken up kite boarding and have a strong passion for sailing.” “Avoid placing limitations on yourself and your vision. Allowing yourself to be teachable opens up new learning experiences that require you to humble yourself and be a good listener and better communicator.”

T.

C. says. His wife has been an inspiration to him since they met when they were 16 years old. “We make a great team and she always keeps me focused on the truly important things in life instead of all the clutter that too often tries to sneak in—this keeps working hard and helping others top priorities.” T. C. enjoys riding bikes on the trace, running on the lakefront, sailing in the lake and playing plenty of golf and tennis—and he rarely misses a happy hour or dance party. “Find something you are passionate about and do it passionately.” >>
