I am a lifelong Washingtonian. I was born in Seattle in 1971 and lived in south Snohomish County (Mountlake Terrace and Lake Forest Park) during my childhood. In 1983, we moved to Cle Elum where I attended middle and high school. After graduating high school in ’89, I studied at Cornell University in Ithaca, New York, where I completed a double major in archaeology and government. As part of my archaeological coursework, I attended two field schools – one in the high desert of southeast Oregon (through the University of Oregon), and one in Greece at a site called Halai (through Cornell). I met the love of my life and wife of almost 30 years, Wendy, while we were on the Halai excavation together. Wendy and I have two amazing adult daughters who have recently graduated from college themselves – Evelyn (WWU, working as a grant writer) and Kathy (UPS, who just completed an internship in a marine biology education center). We live in Lakewood, about eight minutes south of the Grand Lodge office, with our two dogs and five cats. Professionally, I spent the first 20 years of my career in property and casualty insurance. I transitioned to health care insurance in 2015 working as project manager, IT development manager, director of project management, VP of Operations, Chief Operating Officer, and now as the VP of Procurement and Strategic Initiatives. My Masonic history begins in 2005 when I joined Steilacoom Lodge #2. I am a three-time past master of that Lodge (2008, 2010, and 2019) and its current secretary. I’ve served as Deputy of the Grand Master for District 15 and on several committees, including Public Schools Outreach, Membership Development, Credentials, Trial, and Leadership Training. I am passionate about our ritualistic work and was honored to be the 2nd recipient of the Lifetime Excellence in Ritual Award. I am also active with the Tacoma Valley of the Scottish Rite as well as with my OES Chapter (Vida #35). It has been my privilege to work with the Masonic Heritage program for Washington Masonic Services.

I’m a Professor of Practice, global strategy and innovation executive, and co-author of the upcoming book “The Kansal Clunker: The Car that Rebuilt Us”, which comes out in December 2025, a memoir written with my son, Neil Kansal. I’ve spent most of my career in leadership roles across Fortune 500 companies, advising organizations on how to navigate transformation at the crossroads of technology, healthcare, and human behavior. In the summer of 2020, during the height of the pandemic, I began a personal journey that I never saw coming. My teenage son wanted to learn how to drive a manual car. We didn’t have one, but we found a beat-up 1998 Acura Integra, bought it for $5,000, and decided to rebuild it together. What started as a simple DIY project turned into a life-changing experience. As we worked on that car, we ended up rebuilding parts of ourselves too. That journey reshaped how I think about leadership, growth, and what it takes to move forward during uncertain times. Now, I connect the narrative of that journey with the real-world challenges of leading teams and show C-suite executives how the principles behind personal transformation can be applied to organizational leadership in the face of disruption. And today, the greatest disruption many leaders are grappling with is artificial intelligence. AI can optimize processes, scale output, and predict outcomes with astonishing speed. But what it cannot do is provide purpose, empathy, or moral judgment. The Integra project taught me this: while technology is a powerful partner, the human role is to create meaning in the midst of change. Leaders must go beyond efficiency and ask, what uniquely human value am I bringing when the algorithm has done its part? This talk (which I will co-present with Neil) is about what we learned on that road trip: how fixing something broken, whether it’s a car, a business, or a relationship, begins with a courageous choice to step into the unknown and grow from there. I believe the way we respond when life falls apart tells us more about who we are as leaders than any title or strategy ever could. Our talk is rooted in a personal story that began with an old clunker, a teenage dream, and a shared desire to do something meaningful during a time when the world felt stuck. Over the course of a year, my son and I faced all kinds of setbacks and learned unexpected lessons while rebuilding that car and preparing for a 5,000-mile road trip. What we learned along the way changed how I see leadership. You don’t have to have a grand plan to initiate transformation. You don’t have to know exactly how or when things will fall into place. As a leader, you just have to take the leap, build the skills as you go, stay relentlessly committed through the hard parts, and lead your team with empathy.
