(also in NYC and Princeton) Family: Son, John, NYIT graduate First job outside of real estate: Worked for Citicorp in NYC and my job was to train upper management how to use a new interoffice communication system called "EZmail - electronic mail system," (I think I'm showing my age) First job in real estate or allied field: I have been in business development for over 13 years - started in the office furniture industry, but in my current position in the architectural/interior design industry - 3 years. What do you do now and what are you planning for the future? Currently, I am director of Business Development & Marketing for JRS Architect which I really enjoy. I also work with local charities on their fundraising efforts. My plans for the future? The only thing I am certain of is when I retire, it will be somewhere in a warm climate very close to the ocean and blender drink in hand! Persons you admire most (outside of family): Jackie Kennedy, Andrea Bocelli Keys to success: Treat everyone with respect, never burn your bridges and appreciate what you have, not what you don't have. If you had to choose another vocation what would it be? Chef - love to either own my own restaurant, have an event planning business, or better still, both!
