He was only 34 years old and leaves behind his wife Brittney and four young children.<\/p>\n<p>A former Marine, I met Sam when I provided his group ISO 9001:2015 training at the Marine Corps&#8217; Camp Pendleton in 2014. He soon ended his enlistment and moved to the private sector, studying Lean as he became, over the past few years, a leading voice for the practice. Sam brought a nearly spiritual insight to Lean and management techniques, often imbuing them with a positive and calm mindset that is generally lacking in the profession. He was on his way to being a major thought leader in this area.<\/p>\n<p>He had posted on Facebook about kayaking only days before his accident.<\/p>\n<p>Since the accident, his wife Brittany posted on LinkedIn:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>My husband touched each of your lives and I&#8217;d love to hear any stories you may have of him.
