I've opened my own firm and have enjoyed every aspect of it. I've been a partner at large N.Y. firms, and general counsel and executive vice president of a large real estate company, but nothing has provided as much personal satisfaction, excitement and genuine challenge as running my own business. I've enjoyed more success than I expected given the general state of the economy and the slowing in real estate activity. I'd like my firm to grow in the future, in terms of supporting my own practice and adding partners that can expand or complement the services I already provide. Hobbies: Golf, biking Favorite book: "Shogun" Favorite movie: "The Natural" Person you admire most (outside of family): Albert Einstein Key to success: Understanding what people need If you had to choose another vocation what would it be? Architect
