Greatest challenge: The greatest challenge facing me now is to balance the demands of my 1998 ASIS presidency, the demands of my position with Bristol-Myers Squibb - and family - successfully.

Greatest reward: Nothing comes close to my three beautiful children and my lovely wife. They are my greatest rewards in life.

Goals for the future: As the 1998 ASIS president, I will try to inculcate into the minds of security professionals that they are business people and should think like business people and that they need to develop business skills to survive during these changing times.

At Bristol-Myers Squibb, I will work to find new and creative, value-added ways to maintain our corporate security department's preeminence among security departments worldwide.
