I was born and raised in Virginia and attended college at UVA. After several years in NYC after college, my wife and I moved to South Florida to build my manufacturing business. We had just landed in San Francisco for a role when a quick job promotion brought us back to Manhattan. We now live in the Westchester suburbs and spend time in Florida when we can.
Out on the water, and hopefully fishing. I grew up boating in nearby rivers and lived by a small lake where I spent the summer fishing and exploring. These days I love to fish offshore in south Florida, or flyfish in streams around New York, and am sure to take my sons fishing in nearby ponds whenever time permits.
I have a longstanding tradition of taking my sons to a diner early Saturday mornings, including times when we’re traveling. Great bonding time, and I take a group selfie each week so I can look back one day! As my kids have grown it’s been fun to see how the quantity of pancakes, eggs and toast consumed has grown exponentially.
I’m a huge fan of holiday movies, and my personal favorite is ‘The Family Man’. The film is a modern twist on ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’. Perfect for anyone who appreciates Nick Cage at his finest.
My father bought me a riding lawn mover in high school and I built a decent business moving lawns and shoveling snow for neighbors.
My favorite quote is a poem called ‘The Guy in the Glass’ by Dale Wimbrow – I’ll let you enjoy it in its entirety, but my favorite line is ‘the fellow whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring back from the glass.’
