Insightful
Alan lives in Oakland with his wife and, sometimes, his two young adult children. Alan is the recent Board Chair of Pact, a non-profit that supports adopted kids of color and their families. And he is an avid cyclist and hiker and is told he is easy to find whenever he laughs, which happens frequently.
It’s been awesome! It’s the first time someone helped me crack through. It’s been particularly useful with all the upheaval in the company. I rave about Alan to my co-workers.
