Moody:
“My dream as a kid was
to be a Division I college basketball
coach. I loved watching Bobby Knight,
Roy Williams, and Coach K. I became
a teacher to coach high school
basketball, but after five years, I found
Equiant. The rest is history.”
Nash:
“I am pleased with the path I
traveled. Saying that, if I had focused
on music when I was young, I would
love to have been a singer and guitarist
in a band. With my background,
however, I could see myself on the
talent/business side of music. At least
I lived part of my dream by conceiving
Interval’s Party With a Cause and
hosting it for over 25 years!”

If you weren’t in the field you are in,
what do you picture yourself doing instead?
Saft:
“If I weren’t in the field I am in
now, I would have been a diplomat. I
love travel and I love solving complex
problems, so I imagine that would
have piqued my interest. I also
love the idea of being able to park
anywhere without getting a ticket!”
Spizzo:
“I have always been
attracted to serving people, even as
a youth. I’ve had many occupations,
but for the last 40 years, I’ve
concentrated on vacation ownership,
since it serves families. If I could start
a new career, it would be as a medical
doctor so I could help reduce suffering
in the world, especially with the new
rapid advances in the medical field.”
