Jim Crites has a Zen-like philosophy of balance that informs all he does. It led him to leave the Marine Corps to spend more time with family and landed him at Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport (DFW), where he has influenced expansion, sustainability, maintenance and every other aspect as executive vice president of operations.
"We never look at things from one dimension or a single perspective," says Crites. "What are the needs of the people? How do we work to accomplish more than one stakeholder's goal?"
