Who does he consider a Maverick in his life? “I’ve always been inspired by Rebecca Priest, former Administrator at St. John’s Home in Rochester. Rebecca is a leader who has the ability to cast a vision for change and bring people willingly along for the journey there. She pushes, reframes questions, thinks outside the box, and leads from her heart.” “I am inspired when I see people leading from the heart, meaning whatever action you are taking, it is being taken for a person, for an elder, a caregiver, a family member.” ~Rob Simonetti, Architect, SWBR P.S.
