My coach in college would always remind us that in twenty years we probably wouldn't remember specific games or outcomes. But we would remember the time we spent together as a team—in practice, in the gym, on the road. "You'll remember the journey," he would say. My time at Harris Williams has reinforced that idea for me. Day in and day out, I get to work with smart, talented, and driven teammates and clients. Over the years, we've had the opportunity to be part of some incredible outcomes, but it's the journey that always wins out.
