Hello my name is Michael Carmona. I am from Austin, Texas.
- Where are you located geographically?
- I am from Texas and I love this hot weather!
- Where are you in your life professionally?
- I am currently a manager for the Texas Department of Insurance.
- What are your long-term goals?
- One of my long term goals is to complete my masters degree.
- What is your current or prior leadership experience?
- I have been a team lead, supervisor, sales manager, and manager.
- Do you have a favorite leadership quote? If so, provide a brief comment about why this quote has special meaning for you.
- A quote that I read was by Collin Powell “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work”. This quote means a lot to me because I have always been able to emerge as a leader in tasks or leading a project. I have been able to accomplish so much without a college degree through feedback and hard work.

- Do you have children?
- I have two wonderful daughters.
- Any special interests?
- I really enjoy jogging and working on vehicles.
- Do you have an unusual hobby?
- As stated above, I love working on my car. My 1999 Lexus just hit 300,000 miles.
- Do you have children?

It is great to be working with you again Michael and nice to get to know a little more about you. Long ago I worked for the New York Insurance Department as an intern in HR. Should be a good semester.
