What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? Hanging on for dear life and building the plane as we fly it; planning to be the best law firm we can be.
One fun fact about you is: I have an encyclopedic knowledge of golden-era hip-hop music
Two words to describe your work environment: Buckle up
Three things on your bucket list: (1) Land a speaking role in a David Mamet film; (2) become proficient enough in Mandarin Chinese to hold a conversation; (3) live long enough to see the Mets, Jets, Knicks, or Islanders win a championship (will require as-yet-undiscovered technology).

If you could invite one person to dinner (living or dead, but NOT related to you) who would it be and where would you go? Charlie Munger, may he rest in peace. We’d go to his business partner’s favorite spot – Smith & Wollensky on Third Ave.
Rules to live by in business: Don’t take on a client or an employee you can’t fire; it takes a lifetime to build a reputation and a moment to ruin it; no client is worth your license; hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard; “new level, new devil” (that one is from my executive coach); when a client asks you the time, don’t tell her how to build a clock
What is your DREAM job? (NOT your current job) General Manager of the New York Islanders
