Dr Robert Sicora is a consultant who used to work in Human Resources with large organizations such as Pfizer, Carlson companies, Cargill, etc. 

Throughout his life, he always held a stance about what he wanted to do. 
He used to want to be a pilot and was working as a recreational therapist with youth. 
His recreational therapy work is what inspired him to study in Human Resources.
