A funny guy who was smart but slightly irreverent.
I love to play tennis, organize things, and read thrillers and mysteries.

My hero is Peter Lynch.

The one person from my past who I'd most like to see again is Alan Vint, because we were close friends, and I have not heard from him since graduation..
I love tennis, golf, basketball, football, and my dogs, two Scotties.

She sent to Beloit College and dumped me.
My best friend would tell you I'm funny, but people who don't know me very well would probably describe me as driven.

I worked for a guy who a guy who was much older but paranoid, passive-agressive, and always played one-upmanship,
I share my home with my wife and pets, which I find comfortable.
I graduated second in my class from Georgetown MBA.
I would have skipped law school, gone to an excellent business school, made a ton, and retired early.
In 10 years, I hope to be retirement. I'm going to get there by being cheap.
My oldest friend is John Amodeo from Yale. We met the first week, enjoyed our senses of humor, and our families have been best friends ever since.
