First job in real estate or allied field: I started my real estate career as a salesperson for Helmsley-Spear, Inc. How do you unwind from a busy day in real estate? When I'm not working, I enjoy photography and watching almost any sports game, especially the Yankees. I also like traveling to interesting destinations with my family. Favorite book or author: My favorite book is "Catcher in the Rye" by J.D. Salinger Favorite movie: The best movie I've seen has to be "Field of Dreams." Last song you purchased/downloaded? I started appreciating Johnny Cash after a trip to Nashville, and downloaded a few of his songs. One word to describe your work environment: The work environment at Adams & Co. is collegial. Rules to live by in business: The rules to live by in any business are to be loyal and honest. At the end of the day, these are the only things that matter. 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? I would invite Bono and let him choose the restaurant. What is your dream job? I've always thought it would be interesting to be a food critic.
