Interview

• If you have to pick one thing that everyone else should absolutely know about you, what would it be?
  I am a sponge for nonessential information and fact. I could probably win Jeopardy because I am full of useless information that never comes in handy during dinner or cocktail party conversations. I have a great wit about me and look for jokes in almost any situation.
• What are your hobbies? What do you like to do in your spare time?
  Netflix, read, visit museums and art galleries. I enjoy walks with my dog and running in our city parks.
• How do you go that ‘extra mile' in your life?
  I think going the extra mile for me is innate. As mentioned above, I am never satisfied and thus any endeavor I undertake must be completed in perfection. When tasked with a challenge I become even more creative in trying to solve a problem/task.
• What do you do for fun?
  Netflix, read, investigate politics, brush up on more history.
• Tell us what you consider to be your greatest life experience.
  Traveling to Europe and visiting Versailles.
• What makes you stand out from the crowd?
  Endless thirst for more. I am never certain what "more" is but I am never satisfied. The world is not enough.
• What are your greatest personal traits?
  Empathy. Charisma. Humor and wit.
• What is your ‘niche’?
  Urban prep, guy next door, book nerd, history fanatic.
• How often do you travel? Do you prefer to travel or you are more of a homebody?
  TRAVEL IS LIFE! When in the city where I live, I tend to be more of a homebody. But I plan trips often and I want to explore this planet as much as I can while I am alive.
• What kind of diet and fitness regiment do you follow?
  I watch my calories and exercise by running three times a week.
• What’s your lifestyle? What makes you who you are?
  Driven, clean, organized (I try), obsessed with showers and subsequently towels.
• What would you like your followers to know about you that is unique and even a bit personal?
  I can be too sensitive at times and I absorb the emotions of those around me. Sometimes when I encounter a person who is depressed, even if temporarily, I will absorb the depression and it may affect me for a day or so.
• If you and I were on the beach having some wine and great food, what would you tell me about yourself.
  I believed for many years during my adolescence that I would become famous and television cameras followed me around. I would perform around my family in theatrical ways to appease the audiences watching my show. This was well before reality television and I should have been the guy who invented it and made millions.
• What should others absolutely know about you?
  I am a perfectionist and I am obsessed with doing the best I can always. This makes me very cognizant of the emotions of those around me and allows me to better gauge situations from assessing body and verbal language.
• What do you enjoy most about yourself?
  I have a quirky personality and try to find humor in anything, especially if something is hard and challenging. I also love animals and appreciate that if I could, I would adopt animals from all the shelters in the state.
• Name 5 things that you can’t live without.
  My mobile phone, my dog, books, Netflix, and wet wipes.
